Historical digital reconstruction and interpretation

Ancient Roman Excavations

A multitude of ancient Roman artifacts have recently been uncovered in ‘on-going’ UK excavations. A few of these items have been digitally reconstructed for viewing on the internet.

Additionally, two characters from the period were modeled to complement the object reconstructions.
These figures have been built at high detail, intended for printing at a real life size.
