The Roman villa of Noheda from excavation to virtual reconstruction:

Description

The Roman villa of Noheda lies in the interior of the Iberian Peninsula,17 km N of Cuenca. Archaeological research carried out since 2008 by the University of Castilla la Mancha brought to light an extraordinary triapsed hall with figurative mosaics and other buildings that characterize the monument as one of the most luxurious villas of the Roman Empire.

The joint project intends to approach the study of a significant room of the villa, the cruciform hall, with a multidisciplinary methodology, through the different and complementary skills of the Italian and Spanish research teams. Starting from the excavation data, we would like to propose a virtual reconstruction based on architectural survey, archaeometric analysis of construction materials and a historical and archaeological study of contemporary structures. The main objective is to contribute to the knowledge of the Noheda villa, deepening the links with other contemporary villas.
