Dig@IT Project Update: Discoveries in Turkey

Jul 20, 2017

Dr. Maurizio Forte sent along these great photos of their archaeological discovery in Vulci. The discoveries stem from the work on the iiD project Dig@IT: Virtual Reality in Archaeology.

A very important Roman public building (1st century AD) covers an Etruscan well-cistern connected with a complex network of galleries, very likely designing the earliest Pre-Roman water system, revealed for the first time in Vulci and in Etruscan-Roman cities. The coin is of the emperor Domitian (81-96 AD).
