Abstract

This paper proposes an integrated methodology for the 3D reconstruction of ancient structures, based on the geometric analysis of archaeological remains and the use of historical sources. The case study that analysed is the archaeological site of Iuvanum (Italy), with particular focus on the reconstruction of temples, within the Lip3D project - Living forever the Past through a 3Digital world. The approach adopted allowed the development of realistic, historically and architecturally consistent 3D models, contributing to the enhancement and understanding of the site. The integration of geometric survey and historical documentation proved crucial in filling the gaps due to the fragmentary state of the existing structures, offering a plausible reconstruction of a place of great historical significance.
