It was the longest tunnel ever made until the 19th century and, due to the depth of the adduction inlet, it required a monumental and complex incile, which, for functionality, cannot be compared to other ancient emissaries. The Roman emissary and its \"incile\" (Latin name of the inlet structure) were almost completely destroyed in the 19th century, when Fucino Lake was finally dried. Today, only few auxiliary structures such as wells, tunnels, and winzes remain of this ancient work. As evidence of the ancient incile remains a description made by those who also destroyed it and some drawings made by travelers who, on various occasions, visited the site. This paper presents a virtual reconstruction of the Roman incile, obtained both through the philological study of the known documentation, interpreting iconographic sources that represent the last evidence of this structure, and through the survey on the territory. The main purpose is to understand its technical functionalities, the original structures, and its evolution during the time, taking into account the evolution of the Fucino Lake water levels, technological issues, and finally offering its visual reconstruction.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/s19163505","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2019,8,12]],"date-time":"2019-08-12T06:38:02Z","timestamp":1565591882000},"page":"3505","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":9,"title":["3D Virtual Reconstruction of the Ancient Roman Incile of the Fucino Lake"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"19","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-5341-0500","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Luca","family":"Di Angelo","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Industrial and Information Engineering and of Economics, University of L\u2019Aquila, via G. 6 Gronchi 18, 67100 L\u2019Aquila, Italy"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-5003-2084","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Paolo","family":"Di Stefano","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Industrial and Information Engineering and of Economics, University of L\u2019Aquila, via G. 6 Gronchi 18, 67100 L\u2019Aquila, Italy"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Emanuele","family":"Guardiani","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Industrial and Information Engineering and of Economics, University of L\u2019Aquila, via G. 6 Gronchi 18, 67100 L\u2019Aquila, Italy"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-8841-5558","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Anna Eva","family":"Morabito","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Engineering for Innovation, University of Salento, Lecce 73100, Italy"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Caterina","family":"Pane","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Industrial and Information Engineering and of Economics, University of L\u2019Aquila, via G. 6 Gronchi 18, 67100 L\u2019Aquila, Italy"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2019,8,10]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","first-page":"3","article-title":"Gli antichi emissari artificiali dei bacini endoreici","volume":"1","author":"Galeazzi","year":"2012","journal-title":"Opera Ipogea"},{"key":"ref_2","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","unstructured":"Di Angelo, L., Di Stefano, P., and Pane, C.
