Actually, the beams are a wood texture, but hard to see with the ambient lighting inside. I am going to do some changes later regarding portraits and frescoes, including some caricatures, I think, but will have to see what I can come up with. I may (or may not) bother with more interior stuff, at least for this image, since it's a group header image for a topic here at AW. However, I am re-doing the Taberna Tertia (meeting place and hangout for my Gens), and that will have a lot more interior scenes and detail. I had a walk through of the taberna at my website before I took it down for a 100% redesign.

I did learn a lot doing these images, though; especially on texturing and transmapping.
