New online tours of Portus launched

PortusTour_EN-1-700x395

We are pleased to have launched a series of online tours to help with navigating Portus in space and time. Produced by myself, with input from the rest of the Portus Project team, the linked tours have been created for the Claudian, Trajanic, and Severan periods, and for the Fifth to Seventh Centuries. There is also a tour providing a virtual visit to the archaeological site as it is today. Finally there is an interactive timeline for the site explaining the history of archaeological investigation at Portus.

We hope that these are of use throughout the course and help you in understanding the different periods of Portus. The tours are intended only as a first step and we have many additions and modifications planned. We would welcome your comments and suggestions below or via portus@soton.ac.uk

The tours are available in English and Italian and are accessible via: http://www.portusproject.org/tour/

Originally from Ireland, I moved to Southampton to study Archaeology in 2008. Having completed my undergraduate degree in 2011, with a dissertation focusing on the 3D modeling of the Castellum Aquae at Portus, I continued my studies and involvement with the Portus project by enrolling in the MSc Archaeological Computing (Virtual Pasts) masters degree. I'm an education learning designer for the Portus MOOC and have been responsible for the designing many aspects of the course, its layout and content. This MOOC represents an exciting time in the Portus Project and I'm delighted to be part of such a project. I look forward to working on the MOOC and meeting new people and hearing about their interests in Portus.
