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.
