\ufeff<\/span>The archaeological site of Liternum restored by ACCA software through site surveying, points cloud and BIM technology<\/strong><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Located in the area north of Cuma, Liternum<\/strong> was founded in 194 BC together with Puteoli<\/em> and Volturnum<\/em>, as a maritime colony on the left bank of Lake Patria and assigned to three hundred veterans of the second Punic war. The town is mainly famous as a residence of the Roman general Publius Cornelius Scipio the African, who withdrew in exile from Rome and was buried there.<\/p>\n

A reconstruction model of the archaeological site, generated through the combined use of a BIM software (Edificius<\/a>) and a collaborative platform (usBIM.platform<\/a>), has been recently presented in Rome during the Word Tourism Event 2019.<\/p>\n

The advanced reconstruction project was carried out by the Italian-based company ACCA software <\/strong>producing astonishing results that could be navigated in an immersive virtual reality <\/strong>scenario of the entire site.<\/p>\n

Liternum, site restoration<\/h2>\n

The whole process is based on 3 fundamental phases:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. the surveying of the current situation<\/strong>: starting from photos taken with a drone, digital photogrammetry was integrated, thus obtaining the point cloud and the mesh pattern with the existing texture<\/li>\n
  2. 3D virtual reconstruction<\/strong> of the ancient Liternum: after a careful archaeological study, the model was reproduced using a architectural design software<\/a><\/li>\n
  3. federation of models<\/strong>: the 2 models are federated thanks to the use of a special BIM platform<\/a>.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    The Forum<\/h3>\n

    The Forum<\/strong> was the center of public life<\/strong> in any Roman city. It had a rectangular shape with north-south orientation and was crossed longitudinally, from south to north, by the ancient route of the Via Domitiana<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

    It was almost entirely surrounded by a colonnaded portico<\/strong> with a series of Tabernae<\/em> (shops) and the most important civil and religious buildings of a Roman colony:<\/p>\n
