Title: Diachronic Virtual Reconstruction of the Forum of Sarmizegetusa, Romania - 2024
Objective: To digitally reconstruct the Roman Forum of Sarmizegetusa across different phases during its existence in the 2nd century AD.
Methodology: Using Blender for 3D modeling and visualization, YEd for data visualization, and Extended Matrix for 3D reconstruction hypotheses.
Significance: Demonstrating the evolution of the forum over time, based on comprehensive historical sources and archaeological data.
Goal: To provide a comprehensive visual representation of the forum's historical development and spatial layout, contributing to cultural heritage preservation and scholarly understanding.
