- Abstract:
- This paper presents the results obtained from investigation methodologies related to analysis, processing and interpretation of historical and recent remote sensing data for the study of the ancient city of Venusia (today s Venosa, in Basilicata), and in particular of the amphitheatre area. The monumental building was built in the 1st century AD in a sector of the city previously occupied by a residential area, and its remains, partially brought to light starting from the 1930s, are today visible in the northern sector of the terraced plateau where the Latin colony was founded. This sector of the city today falls within an agricultural area and, therefore, it is suitable for aero-topographic studies. The multitemporal data set, mostly aerial photos, allowed for the documentation of the transformation of this site from the 1940s until today and the acquisition of important information about the layout of the monument and its surrounding area.
