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. At Cyrene, the Roman rock-cut tomb N83 offers a controlled case study to analyse the quantity and quality of the lighting performance in a 3D perspective. Starting from the archaeological and historical reconstruction of the recently published context, the 3D model will simulate the interior lighting of the tomb using virtual prototypes of ancient clay oil lamps. The 3D models contribute also to developing interpretive virtual models for valorising and promoting the cultural heritage.
