Une première série d'images montrant les différents corps de bâtiments et la manière avec laquelle il composent l'édifice d'origine a été produite, se poursuivant avec l'adjonction de bâtiments supplémentaires lors de la deuxième période de construction au début du 2º siècle. Certaines de ces images ont été calculées depuis un point de vue virtuel identique à celui d'un observateur situé devant le panneau sur lequel est imprimée l'image, lui permettant d'imaginer la volumétrie du bâtiment en fonction des restes devant lesquels il se trouve.
