Abstract
The present study examined the references in the works of ancient authors to the ancient city and the Roman fortress Pitiunt, the geological aspects of the formation of the coastline in the Pitsunda Cape area in the first centuries AD and the results of archaeological research of the monument performed from 1952 to 1974. The creation of the 3D reconstruction of the exterior of the Pitiunt fortress during its prosperity in the IV century AD, along with the churches which were the first monuments of religious architecture in northwestern Colchis (northwestern Colchis comprises parts of the territory of modern Russia, Georgia and Abkhazia) was carried out based on the excavation plans and the principles of fortification and temple architecture that were accepted in the late Roman times, paying special attention to the geological paleoreconstructions.

Summary
3-D technologies have been widely used in archeology in order to protect historical and cultural heritage, aiming at creation of 3D models of various archaeological sites. Various methods, for example, photogrammetry [1,2,3,4,5,6,7], laser scanning (TLS) [8,9], LiDAR technology [10], etc., are applied when it is necessary to determine and investigate the present 3-D geometry of an object, i.e., to obtain a 3-D image of the current state of an archaeological site or exhibit with the aim of creating a virtual exhibition. As the output of both described methods, 3-D models used to create virtual reality (VR) in scientific, educational and exhibition activities can be obtained [8,9,19] This is consistent with the provisions of the London Charter [20]
