Research Databases & Digital Collections

This archive collects 3D models of the Roman cemetery along the Via Ostiense in Rome. The total station survey records the basic outline of the structures, important features (such as earthquake damage), and references the virtual 3D model to the real world. This project is developed by Dorian Borbonus, FAAR '17.
