Abstract: Abstract A new accurate parametric model reconstruction of the Arch of Titus at the Circus Maximus in Rome has been presented, based on previously and newly found fragments, historical knowledge and architectural order proportions. It is a joint work , with M. Canciani and M. Saccone of the Department of Architecture of Roma Tre University and M. Buonfiglio and S. Pergola archeologists of the Sovrintendenza Capitolina, that started in 2012 and ended up with a large escavation of the area in 2015, when many new pieces of the ancient arch were found. More than one hundred fragments were surveyed with laser scanning and photogrammetric programs to get their point cloud 3D representation, useful for measuring and features extraction and archived in a specific database. The model has been optimized, with original algorithms and programs, using all the processed data and has been verified and improved after each new fragment acquisition.
