Description: Basic Description: The polyline feature class Curbstone Material after Saliou (1999) represents 149 segments of curbstone materials as published in fig. 28 of the article by Catherine Saliou. 19999. “Les trottoirs de Pompéi: une première approche,” BaBesch 74:161-218.
Data History: The attribute data for these features were derived from fig. 28 of the article by Catherine Saliou. 1999. “Les trottoirs de Pompéi: une première approche,” (BaBesch 74:161-218) and digitized by georeferencing that figure and tracing over it. Information on material type were then added to the attribute table. Spatial data 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 (multiple) as solid or dotted (Dot) lines at 1 pt size, with no display transparency, and scale visibility set to not above 1:10,000.
Credits: This data was produced by Eric Poehler for the Pompeii Bibliography and Mapping Project after original CAD data provided by the Soprintendenza di Pompei.
Description: Basic Description: The polygon feature class Intersections represents 147 intersections of streets in the excavated (111) and unexavated (36) areas of the city.

Symbologies: This feature class is symboloized as a hollow polygon with a pink (Fuchsia Pink) outline at 0.40 pt size, with no display transparency, and scale visibility set to not above 1:10,000.

Description: Basic Description: The polyline feature class "Rut Depth after Tsujimura (1991)" represents 150 segments of lava stone paved street surfaces with different ruts depths as published in fig. 5 of the article by Sumiyo Tsujimura. 1991. “Ruts in Pompeii – The traffic system in the Roman city,” Opuscula Pompeiana 1:58-86.
