This technology will guide experts and the broader public enhancing their own experience when observing that ‘pictorial representation’ of the ancient world. By scanning the map using phones or tablets devices, the Peutinger App software will load and display in ar graphics and textual contents with which users can digitally interact. The first tranche of the project is focused on the central Anatolian region of Cappadocia and its historical role since the Roman times. This paper, after an analysis of the topographic and archaeological data which can be derived from the map itself, will briefly describe how the Peutinger App project functions and how it is organized in its technical and research features.

Specifically, it examines a non-royal statue which one of the authors has recently identified as Turin, Museo Egizio S. 19400+S. 19400/1. The authors combine a study of relevant archival records currently kept in Padua and Venice, Italy, with the virtual reconstruction of the fragment of the head and the stylistic analysis of the statue in order to shed light on the sculpture and retrace its post-excavation history.

This villa is now being enhanced within the Archae- ological Park of the Terme Euganee. A reconstructive hypothesis has been formulated on the basis of the archaeological records and de- veloped through the search of targeted comparisons taken from literary, iconographic and archaeo- logical sources. This hypothesis is aimed to help the visitors understand the features of the ancient building derived from weak structural remains. At this initial stage of the analytical studies, special attention has been given to the volumes as well as the open spaces of the villa. The visual return of the elevation of the colonnades and the wall en- closures were studied from the foundations, the internal organization of the gardens and the archi- tectural and sculptural decoration. Finally, the reconstructive hypothesis has been graphically translated into a perspective drawing and into a computerized tridimensional interactive model.

A reconstructive hypothesis has been formulated on the basis of the archaeological records and de- veloped through the search of targeted comparisons taken from literary, iconographic and archaeo- logical sources. This hypothesis is aimed to help the visitors understand the features of the ancient building derived from weak structural remains.
At this initial stage of the analytical studies, special attention has been given to the volumes as well as the open spaces of the villa. The visual return of the elevation of the colonnades and the wall en- closures were studied from the foundations, the internal organization of the gardens and the archi- tectural and sculptural decoration.
