Rome: NE slopes of the Palatine hill. Analysis and quantification of ancient architectures

Emanuele Brienza, Lorenzo Fornaciari
Abstract:
The NE slopes of the Palatine and the Colosseum valley area have been the place of a long archaeological research; here the continuous urban development produced an overlap of architectural complexes distributed over time. The huge amount of archeological documentation elaborated by the research is managed by a data management system. For ancient walls analysis we have introduced the use of image-based-modeling photogrammetry in order to create a very detailed 3D documentation linked to a DBMS dedicated to ancient structural features. Through this methodology we can evaluate specific aspects of the ancient construction yards for each period; we can also refine the chronological sequences of the architectures and verify the contextual relationships of the surrounding buildings in order to formulate wide-ranging reconstructive hypotheses.
