Temporary, a vertical protective barrier has been placed close to
the inscriptions, protecting against rain and snow, both in light-
absorbent and temperature-insulating material. A restoration
project by Sergio Pratali has also been designed.

3. THE VIRTUAL MODEL AND THE VISUALIZATION
The wife-frame of the temple has been textured by the rectified
images, thus producing a 3d model suitable for animation and
Virtual reality. In figures 8 and 9 two screenshots of the
animation.
4. THE TEMPLE OF ZEUS IN AIZANOI
About fifty km far from Kiitahya, lies Cavdarhisar, the site of the
ancient Aizanoi. There is remains one of the best preserved
Roman temples in Anatolia, the well known temple Hadriatic
temple of Jupiter or Zeus. It dates to the second century AD. The
close similarity between the temple of Augustus at Ankara and
the temple of Zeus at Aizanoi (latter in good conditions) is very
important for us. We can do some useful comparisons for the
knowledge of the architectural buildings, the quality of the
workmanship, etc.
Aizanoi was discovered and studied by European travellers in
the 1830s and ‘40s. M. Schede and D. Krecker started
excavations, in 1926. After several years R. Naumann began to
study the temple. The surveys are not yet accomplished
nowdays.
