Digital humanities applied to Art History Augmented readings as a future perspective for the study of Roman iconography and mythology

Abstract

The Digital Humanities (HD) refer to a concept, to a new way of understanding the humanistic discipline. A methodological approach and application that allows formulating different and novel research hypotheses hitherto unimaginable, either due to the lack of appropriate means or simply due to a lack of approach from other points of view, to which the use of machines, technology and technology undoubtedly contributes, tools versus human analysis. In this research we will base ourselves on the TaxMOS HD taxonomy, a pioneer in its field, created by the author for the study of Roman Mythology. For this we will apply Augmented Reading for the analysis of the Iconography and Mythology represented in the scenes of the Roman musivaria.
