Spatial Configuration Analysis via Digital Tools of the Archeological Roman Town Timgad, Algeria

A pioneering spatial analysis of the UNESCO-listed Roman town Timgad, Algeria, reveals critical insights into its urban and architectural configuration. Using advanced digital tools like Depthmap and Agraph, researchers applied space syntax methods to quantify aspects of accessibility, movement, and daily life within the site. The study identifies distinct spatial properties related to building amenities and human behavior, offering new perspectives on the archaeological value of Timgad. These findings provide valuable data for architects, urbanists, and archaeologists, enhancing our understanding of social domestic life in ancient Roman towns through a quantitative lens.
