Lighting a Funerary Interior. The Roman Tomb N83 at Cyrene in a 3D Perspective

The lighting in a funerary space assumes different values and functions. Roman rock-cut Tomb N83 at Cyrene offers a controlled case-study to analyze quantity and quality of an interior lighting performance in a 3d model using virtual prototypes of ancient oil clay lamps. The analysis of the tomb in such perspective opened new questions useful to better consider some architectural features, the possible dynamics of the ritual practices inside the funerary chamber and the perception of it. The 3d model contributes also to preserve, valorise and promote the cultural heritage of modern Libya.
