A Bottom-up Approach to Simulating the Construction of the Roman Colosseum Using Virtual Reality

摘要：

This paper presents a comprehensive recreation of the construction of the Colosseum using virtual reality, a technique which has never been attempted before in the construction study of this ancient monument.The creation process of this simulation includes deriving and compiling information from both personal observations and a number of different historical and archaeological sources as well as findings from the monument itself.The result of this process is a digital simulation which can allow users to view any part of the Colosseum in various stages of construction, as well as a number of possible pathways of construction as established by the literary research.
