Contesting Visualisations of the Eastern Caelian from the C1-C8 CE

(The British School at Rome, 22nd-24th March 2023)

 Join us, live or online, for the the Rome Transformed 'provocation' conference where the Rome Transformed team will be presenting an array of digital visualisations (our ‘provocations’) to explore key questions concerning the form and evolution of buildings in Southeast Rome. 

The programme spans three days. The Wednesday evening programme offers a survey in Italian of the team’s work and use of the provocation concept in visualisation.  The programmes on Thursday and Friday will be primarily in English.  Thursday and Friday are dedicated to the interrogation of the Rome Transformed team’s ‘provocation’ visualisations. Each provocation presented will be introduced by the named presenter. 

Further supporting information on each provocation can be found at https://rometrans.ncl.ac.uk/rtsciedoc

22 March 2023, 6-8 pm (in Italian)
