Description: Basic Description: The polygon feature class Street Features (filename- PBMP_STRF_City_Poly_002) represents all the basic features of the Pompeian streetscape, including: ; 567 Curbstones; 360 Guard Stones; 51 Ramps into buildings; and, 318 Stepping Stones.
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 supported by a Layer file of the same name that contains its symbologies (multiple), display transparency (40%), and scale visibilities (none).
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.
