3D Digital Reconstructions as an Educational Resource for Teaching Classical Disciplines: The Case of Strabo and Alexandria in Egypt

This study analyses the educational potential of integrating digital technologies, specifically three-dimensional reconstructions of ancient cities based on scientific and archaeological criteria, into the teaching of classical subjects. The proposed teaching pathway, designed for third-year students at the IIS "De Filippis - Galdi" in Cava de’ Tirreni, is structured in four phases: 1) a philological and content-based analysis of passages from Strabo concerning the description of Alexandria; 2) a guided viewing of an archaeological lecture aimed at providing historical and topographical context for the text; 3) the exploration of audiovisual materials featuring 3D reconstructions of the city, including the selection and critical commentary of representative screenshots; 4) the administration of a questionnaire intended to assess: students’ subjective perception and their actual comprehension of the content. The underlying hypothesis of this approach is that the use of three-dimensional reconstructions, when embedded in a structured and pedagogically coherent learning path, constitutes.
