What Importing a Roman Transport network can do for you

Use open Roman datasets via and import them into a Netlogo model, using the ORBIS dataset (http://orbis.stanford.edu/) to create a set of Roman settlements and major routes between them.

Inputs

NameTypeDescription
orbis.graphmlfileavailable under netlogo_implementation/ . A .graphml file consisting of nodes representing Roman settlements and junctions, and edges representing transport routes. From ORBIS https://purl.stanford.edu/mn425tz9757

Outputs

NameTypeDescription
Network topologynetworkThe set of nodes and links created using the ORBIS .graphml file, and corrected through the model's data-correction procedure.
