Resum

This dataset contains the archives to reproduce the three-dimensional model of the Roman Circus of Tarragona in Roman times. Its location was an atypical case because it preferred to occupy large extramural spaces to reduce the costs of expropriation and construction, and thus achieve a broad hypodrome. As construction proceeded alongside the entire 2nd-century BC city wall, connectivity between the two parts of the city was disrupted. It ended in the time of Domitian and was in use until the 5th century, occupying an area of 4 hectares. The Circus became the junction between the residential city and the superior political-religious imperial complex. The ZIP folder contains 12 files corresponding to the 3D archive, raw textures, and processed textures; in FBX, JPG and JPEG format; as well as a README file.
