The reconstruction of the ancient environment was created with data coming from different studies: first of all, the analysis of the recognizable archaeological structures, followed by the study of the iconographical and literary sources connected to the site and, finally, the comparison with architectonical and decorative contemporary models.

The immersive reconstruction inside the virtual space, although rich and "alive", is not enough to convey all its related historical and cultural aspects.

The application has been developed as a proper and real system of information composed by different channels: the characters and their behaviours, the videos and the use of different narrative instruments help the users to understand the ancient environment.
Perception becomes understanding. Understanding becomes knowledge.
