The Connection Between Scenography and Virtual Reconstructions of the Statuary Groups in the Nymphaeum of Tiberius

The paper investigates the relationship between spatial scenography and virtual reconstruction in the interpretation of fragmented archaeological contexts. Focusing on the Nymphaeum of Tiberius, the study combines historical research, integrated digital survey (laser scanning and photogrammetry), and 3D modeling to reconstruct both the architectural environment and its original statuary groups. Through processes of virtual anastylosis and multidimensional representation, fragmented sculptures are digitally reassembled and repositioned within their original setting. The resulting models are used in extended reality environments and web-based platforms to enhance interpretation, enabling users to explore the reconstructed spatial narrative and understand the original scenic composition of the site.
