The theater of Morgantina (now Sicily) was constructed toward the middle of the third century BC, on the site of an earlier and more modest structure of the same function. The existing theater is part of an ambitious unitary project of the embellishment of the agorà. https://www.whitman.edu/theatre/theatretour/morgantina/commentary/morgantina.commentary.htm
3D model was made using 62 FAROFocus3D laser scans processed in Reality Capture software with additional processing completed in Geomagic Wrap, InstantMeshes, Blender, and Meshlab.
