- Abstract
- he virtual reconstruction of the archaeological landscape is an holistic process of great complexity, that is made of relations and includes in a virtual ecosystem many kinds of data, according to a multidisciplinary approach. This system of relations, interactions and behaviours assumes cultural, psychological and perceptive relevance. In this paper we'll present the project dedicated to the Roman “Via Flaminia”, an important consular Roman road, built in 220 B.C. by Gaio Flaminio. In that period the road begun in the center of Rome and continued toward north, along the Tiber valley, the Appennini mountains and then it descended toward the Adriatic sea along the Metauro valley until Fanum Fortunae (Fano); from here it continued toward Pesaro and finally reached Ariminum (Rimini) following the coast (Fig 1). The project, started in 2005 and supported by Arcus Foundation, has the goal of exploiting and diffusing its knowledge and historical context, focusing mainly on five important archaeological areas, in the northern part of Rome: Ponte Milvio (the important bridge where the emperor Constantino defeated Massenzio in October 28th of 312 A.D.); Tor di Quinto and Grottarossa (where the road is partially conserved together with its funerary monuments); Villa of Livia (the superb roman villa of Augustus's wife) and finally Malborghetto (a Roman arch transformed today in a museum) (Messineo, 1991; Messineo, 1993). The final result of the project is the creation of a Virtual Reality application that will be installed in the National Museum (Museo delle Terme di Diocleziano) in Rome. Here a room will be specifically dedicated to the virtual musealisation of the road “Via Flaminia”, through a network of four PC and a main, wider, screen, a sort of virtual theater connected with each single PC. The project will be presented to the public in 2007.
