Abstract
Abstract. The importance of the Digital Atlas of Rome has been crucial in order to map and analyse archaeological remains of the monumental layout of ancient Rome, enhancing the contextual connections and easing the interpretation the original city-scapes and architecture. Then, the main goal has been twofold: to recompose the archaeological framework of available knowledge and to propose reconstructive hypotheses of ancient buildings. The Domus Regia, Sacraria Martis et Opis is one of these important buildings, excavated and documented over the years. In this regard, the archaeological data and the hypothetical reconstruction of the Domus Regia have been the focus of this project. In fact, the beginning of this integrative project is due to the desire to investigate how different methodology and workflows can be combined synergistically in a HBIM platform in order to ease data documentation, management and dissemination. Informative platforms and cloud solutions may be the proper solution for integrating metric data with semantic archaeological data, including and updating previous analyses. For this reason, the Domus Regia data has been managed inside a FOSS HBIM platform (FreeCAD), which was designed as a dynamic environment for modelling parametrically the ancient building and connecting related IFC objects with semantic information. Then, the resulted HBIM model has been valued and shared by using BIMData cloud platform and tested inside another environment developed ad-hoc for archaeological purposes.
Highlights
This project, still in progress, focuses on how archaeological analysis and its 2D informative system can be related to an open source HBIM solution in order to obtain an informative environment, including different types of data and facilitates management and revisions processes

This research is based on what Historic Building Information Modelling (Murphy et al, 2009; 2013) methodology and FOSS (Free and Open Source solution) instruments can offer to archaeology (Diara et al, 2020), creating an informative and dynamic system starting from existing data of Domus Regia (Figure 1)
Summary
This project, still in progress, focuses on how archaeological analysis and its 2D informative system can be related to an open source HBIM solution in order to obtain an informative environment, including different types of data and facilitates management and revisions processes. The project is affected by the desire to integrate different methodologies and academic frameworks for increasing knowledge accessibility This is the basis of a new collaboration between Sapienza University of Rome and Politecnico di Torino (DAD department) for the data integration referred to an important religious building inside the Roman Forum (Rome): the Domus Regia, Sacraria Martis et Opis. The analysis of this building is part of another important project: the Digital Atlas of Rome designed (through a 2D informative system) for understanding the historical evolution of the landscape of the city of Rome as well as for proposing reconstructive hypotheses (Carandini et al, 2017a; 2017b). HBIM projects for archaeology require a deep analysis (through a solid framework) especially for monitoring processes, further studies as well as consolidation / restoration operations across semantic and ontological data (Messaoudi et al, 2018; Trizio et al, 2019)
