ABSTRACT

Archeological remains and literature sources are used to work out design considerations and reconstruction activities on an ancient Roman crane. Design requirements have been elaborated by looking at the Vitruvius work as republished during Renaissance and considering practical aspects of material and manufacturing both in ancient time and today possibilities. Results are reported in terms of design developments and experiences for prototype reconstructions that have been exhibited in a museum.
