Description: Basic Description: The polygon feature class "Corpus Topographicum Pompeianun" represents 616 buildings with information about each, including: all known building names, references to the basic bibliography, and the page number from the CTP where this information was derived.
Data History: Features in this layer are based on a CAD file provided by the Soprintendenza di Pompei to Eric Poehler in 2003. The CAD file was created by digitizing the RICA Maps of Pompeii, 1984, supported by World Monuments Watch and funded by American Express. The RICA MAPs were drawn in part from aerial images taken at 820m and supplemented by on the ground survey. Inconsistencies among the features of this layer with satellite imagery or other maps of Pompeii may be the result of errors in the rectification of the original aerial images and differences projected between coordinate systems (PBMP data are in the Monte_Mario_Italy_2 projected coordinate system). On the creation of the RICA Maps, see Van der Poel, H. B., Corpus Topographicum Pompeianum, vol. IIIA. Austin, TX, 1986, XI-XIX.
Symbologies: This feature class is symboloized as a dashed gray (20%) outline at 0.40 width, with no display transparency, and scale visibility set to not above 1:10,000.
