Some years ago (2010/2011?) I remembered a software I played with at the 
early nineties at my amiga 500. I cannot remember if it was a version of 
DKB-trace or an esrly version of pov. I wanted to model a room of an 
archaeological site. So I rediscovered POV.

I wanted to model a room of an archaeological site whose wall textures 
have been very well preserved. It was a small extension of a 2nd century 
Villa Rustica (Villa am Silberberg, Bad Neuenahr-Ahrweiler), listed in 
the museum catalogue as room 3. So this is what it looked like 1800 
years ago.

Best regards Michael

Neat and very interesting. I guess that the black panels were originally 
filled with painted stucco?

The museum site is worth a visit indeed.

Thanks. Yes the black looking panels are in fact a painted imitation of 
laconic or upper egyptian black green porphyry. In a later scene, I'll 
probably have to tweak the lighting a bit....

Best regards
