Vesuvius Challenge - CT Scans of Herculaneum Papyri

This dataset contains reconstructed micro-CT volumes of carbonized Herculaneum papyri produced as part of the Vesuvius Challenge. The scanned scroll library survived the eruption of Mount Vesuvius in AD 79. It is the only intact library known to have survived from antiquity. The volumetric reconstructions are distributed as OME-Zarr multiscale datasets to support research in virtual unwrapping, segmentation, and text recovery of ancient scrolls. Deciphering these scrolls could forever change our understanding of Roman history.
