Abstract

The possibilities of image based modeling (IBM) as a 3D scanning technique for modeling low cost Roman inscriptions are analyzed. The study has been carried out at the National Museum of Archaeology (Madrid), where various Roman inscriptions (on stone, bronze and clay) were examined. The results obtained have proved to be excellent as related to the study and widespreading of this type of historical documentation. The 3D Roman inscriptions can be incorporated into digital epigraphy projects in progress, allowing access via personal computers and mobile devices, without extra costs to researchers.
