We carried out a complete 3D survey of the Roman Theatre of Aosta, producing three-dimensional models and detailed orthophotos of all remains and structures that make up the monument. The intervention was aimed at creating a digital foundation for wall stratigraphic analysis, preparatory to the planning of restoration activities.
The challenge
The Roman Theatre of Aosta is one of the best-preserved archaeological complexes in the Alpine arc, but also one of the most intricate from a historical and constructive perspective. The goal was to provide archaeologists and restorers with an integrated system to document, analyze, and correlate wall and stratigraphic data, maintaining the scientific rigor of archaeological methodology combined with the precision of digital surveying.
The “ad hoc” solution”
We implemented a three-dimensional management platform based on the Ad Hoc AM software, which allows:
– compiling and drawing US and USM records directly in a 3D environment,
– producing phase and period plans,
– integrating stratigraphic sections and defining relationships between units,
– automatically generating and updating both the Matrix and the 3D Matrix.
This digital infrastructure made it possible to systematize archaeological documentation, making it navigable, interactive, and linked to the 3D model of the monument. An approach that combines ultra-high-precision surveying and scientific methodology, laying the groundwork for advanced and informed management of restoration interventions.
