Tiber Valley Virtual Museum: a methodological approach for the 3D reconstruction of the medium Tiber Valley landscape to the birth of the first urban centers, in the orientalising period

The paper discusses a multidisciplinary methodology for the 3D reconstruction of the hypothesized ancient landscape along the Tiber Valley North of Rome, as part of the Tiber Valley Virtual Museum project. The orientalising period is particularly important for the growth of the first urban centers. The landscape is considered in its several components, geological, natural, historical, archaeological, anthropological, evocative. The soil use in the past have been simulated, starting from data collection and data acquisition on the field, to GIS elaboration up to realistic 3D representations.
