One such measure found in the ruins, was a Roman strongbox with a four-stage locking mechanism.
This is the house of Caecilius Iucundus, a wealthy banker who died in Pompeii following the catastrophic eruption of Mount Vesuvius more than 2,000 years ago.
Before the volcanic ash rained down, the banker lived a life of splendour: mosaic floors, elaborately decorated walls and multiple large rooms can be seen in a digital reconstruction of his house.
Using original objects, small finds, and wall decorations from the house it was possible for academics at Lund University, Sweden, to create a digital replica of the house. In 2011 and 2012 the historians laser scanned a block of the ruined city and followed this up with a drone scanning of the city in 2015.
From here they were able to create a digital mesh and polygon structure and recreate what may have existed. 'The authentic as-is appearance of all walls and floors presented in the film was made possible when a method was developed that permitted to add digital photographs,' the research team wrote in a paper discussing the work.
The house is the first 3D model created following the scanning of the city. Nicoló Dell´Unto, a digital archaeologist at Lund University, said the method has allowed for Pompeii to be shown 'in greater detail and more accurately than was previously possible'.
'The reconstructed model shown in the video provides a detailed impression of the original condition of the interior spaces,' says the paper from the Lund University and Institute for Technologies Applied to Cultural Heritage. Game engines were used to recreate and simulate lighting conditions in the video.
'We focussed on all the architecture and decorative elements that compose the house and on the way they are connected with each other, trying to simulate in the most reliable way, colours, space composition, light condition and visibility allowing the audience to experience a full immersion.'
The digital reconstruction is part of a wider (Swedish Pompeii Project) that is trying to 'record and analyse' the Insula V 1 block of Pompeii. The project has been run by Lund University since 2000.
Based on the laser scanning of the city areas, another interactive 3D model has been created that allows specific buildings and areas of the block to be scanned.
