I'm doing further analysis of the House of the Drinking Contest in Seleucia Pieria, which requires many different renders from a variety of views and a variety of days of the year. I have settled on A.D. 230 for my year since the last phase of the house is dated to the late Severan period.
One can see with some timelapse videos there is a large difference between the shading of the courtyard between the summer and winter.

View from the triclinium, looking south.

View of the courtyard, August 1, A.D. 230, 4pm. Light starts to shifts as the sun sets over the western wall of the courtyard. In an hour from this point, the light will reach the triclinium, illuminating its mosaic.
