University archaeologists, led by Dr. Craig Barker, and Melbourne digital technology firm Lithodomos created a 360-degree experience which lets you check out Nea Paphos' epic theatre. Able to host 8,500 people and 100 metres in diameter, the theatre boasted imported Mediterranean architecture, including a grand Roman façade, imperial statues and marble columns.

Dr. Barker has been at the helm of the university's excavations of Nea Paphos for two decades, working with his fellow colleagues, volunteers and students to uncover the capital's theatre, along with paved Roman roads and an ancient nymphaeum (water fountain).

He's already been using the app at the actual site when giving Cypriot school children tours, and with school groups at the University of Sydney's Nicholson Museum.

“We have brought history to life and used modern technology to examine a 2,000 year old building,” said Dr Barker in a press statement. “Past physical restorations of archaeological sites have been based on knowledge of the day. The beauty of digital restoration is that it can be changed as new evidence comes to light.”
