Multisensors for BIM modeling and digital twinning of historical buildings: preliminary results on Circus of Maxentius in Rome

A novel BIM-based methodology integrates multisensors data and structural testing to enhance the accuracy of virtual reconstructions and digital valorization of historical structures, particularly those with low conservation rates. This approach addresses a critical gap in current archaeological models by ensuring structural coherence through finite element algorithms and graphic statics techniques. Preliminary results from the Circus of Maxentius in Rome demonstrate the potential for this methodology to validate and refine hypotheses about past structural and morphological characteristics, offering a more rigorous framework for historical reconstruction.
