Abstract
Pompeii is one of the most important archaeological sites in the whole globe, visited by thousands of p eople every year. The image of the city preserved , astonishing for its monumentality, belongs to its final days: it’s the city of 79 AD, freezed under the eruption of the Vesuvius. So far, though we know that the city had been living for centuries before its epilog, our knowledge about the previous Pompeii is lacking. To fill this gap, after an Agreement between Sapienza University and the Archaeological Park of Pompeii, a project has been started, aimed towards the creation of a GIS capable to manage the whole documentation, in order to understand the sequence of phases which depicts the development of the city. Regio VII has been chosen as a test area.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
