Landscape visualisation of the Roman site Margum

Abstract

There are numerous traces around the world that testify on the duration and significance of the Roman Empire. There are many more Roman traces in Serbia, than it could be seen in the field. Many traces have been lost or forgotten forever. Roman Margum is one of them. On the base of outline maps and historical facts, this work aims to revive the Roman era on the site Margum, in an innovative way, by using natural vegetation and installation. The approach to work has a multidisciplinary character. By analyzing the current situation and by using a check list, it was found that partly carried out archaeological excavations were not visible, and that their invisibility was more enhanced with invasive vegetation that occupied the space. The revitalization of the site Margum will not only contribute to the cultural heritage of Serbia, but also to a tourist activation of the space and its surroundings and to raising the attractiveness of the site as well.
