dc.description.abstract | The story of the glamour and downfall of the Roman city and military
camp of Viminacium has drawn the attention of not only the domestic but also
the international scientific public, who eagerly anticipate that Viminacium will
take its rightful place in the first rank among the world’s cultural monuments.
The ancient city of Viminacium is exceptional in terms of the surface area
unencumbered for archaeological investigation (over 1,100 acres/450 hectares
for the greater metropolitan area and 540 acres/220 hectares in the city territory
proper).1 During the last five decades, the Viminacium necropolis has
been excavated and over 14,000 graves identified.
The Viminacium project includes a multidisciplinary team consisting
of experts in different research fields. Apart from archaeologists, it includes
mathematicians, electrical engineers, geophysicists, geologists, petrologists,
and experts in artificial intelligence, remote sensing, three-dimensional modelling
and formal analysis. Their wish is that the squares and temples, theatres
and the hippodrome, baths, streets and city quarters become parts of the
Serbian and world heritage and a recognisable symbol of the Serbian Danube
valley. | sr |
