Ancient Theatre, Sagalassos, Turkey

sketchfab

The theatre at Sagalassos, Turkey, rose between 120 and 190 CE, possibly preceded by an earlier edifice rooted in Hellenistic tradition. Its construction stalled by the close of the second century CE, with parts of the seating unfinished and a single-story stage area. Thousands could be seated in this vast amphitheater. In this model one can also visualize the corridor behind the theatre seats. This model was constructed from 4520 photographs (Phantom 4 Pro [20mpx], Sony A7iii [24mpx], A7riii [45mpx], and Leica Q2 [47mpx]) and 232 Faro S70 laser scans. The model was processed using Reality Capture. Global Digital Heritage collected the data in August 2019, as part of the University of Leuven Sagalassos Archaeological Research Project, supported by the Global Heritage Fund.
