-## Mapping the Via Appia
-
-![Mapping the Via Appia](media/viaappia.png)
-
-Note:
-The Via Appia was the most important road in the Roman Empire, connecting Rome to Brindisi in the south of Italy, spanning a distance of 540km.
-It was used for military purposes, but also for trade and travel.
-The Via Appia was built in 312 BC, and used for 600 years, until the fall of the Roman Empire.
-
-The eScience Center participated in a project to map the Via Appia. Using a combination of satellite imagery and ground-based measurements, the project created a 3D model of the road. The model was used to study the road and its surroundings.
-
-In this project, research software was used to process the satellite imagery and the ground-based measurements, and combine them into a 3D model of the Via Appia.

-Note:
-All over the research life cycle we can find examples of software created for research.
-Some are more straightforward than others:
-
-- Planning: to design experiments
-- Collecting: to collect data, to control instruments, to run simulations
-- Analysing: to analyse data, to generate models

 ## Reuse & reproduce
 
 Both reusability and reproducibility are important values in research software:
