Abstract :
This article presents the development of the project elaborated by the Laboratory for Roman Provincial Archaeology (LARP-USP) named DOMUS: an online application that enables users to navigate in three-dimensional virtual environment that simulates an ancient house during the Roman Empire. Starting from the concept of simulation and cybernetics, the article details the main points of Cyber-Archaeology - area of study that relates Virtual Reality to Archaeology - and describes the steps involved in the development of DOMUS. Finally, we present the educational activities to be implemented based on DOMUS.
