Roger Michel is the founder and executive director of the Institute for Digital Archaeology, which uses technology to conserve, study and even re-create ancient treasures. A key example of this work is the two-thirds-scale marble reproduction of the Palmyra Arch of Triumph, unveiled this April on Trafalgar Square, and travelling to New York City in September. The second-century original was destroyed by the Islamic State in central Syria in October of 2015. Michel is a graduate of Harvard and Oxford Universities and has been on the faculty at Boston University for more than two decades. The author of numerous articles, his forthcoming piece on the Greek Aldines, coauthored by Dr. Nigel Wilson, will appear in the Winter 2016 issue of Arion.
