Archaeologists Virtually Recreate House of Caecilius Iucundus in Pompeii
An international team of researchers led by Lund University archaeologists has virtually reconstructed a large house of the Pompeian banker Lucius Caecilius Iucundus. A research paper about the virtual reconstruction is published in the journal SCIRES-IT.
After the 1980 earthquake in Italy, the Pompeii curator invited the international scientific community to help document the ancient Roman town. The Swedish Pompeii Project was therefore started at the Swedish Institute in Rome in 2000.
The goal of the project was to survey, record and analyze an entire Pompeian city-block, Insula V1.
The district was scanned during the field work in 2011–2012 and the first 3D models of the town have now been completed.
The models show what life was like for the people of Pompeii before the volcano eruption of Mount Vesuvius.
The archaeologists have even managed to complete a detailed 3D reconstruction of the House of Caecilius Iucundus.
