The computer models described above are not the first three-dimensional models of the Macellum. The National Archaeological Museum of Naples houses a model of the entire city, developed in the late 19th century, and many of the Forum buildings are rendered in remarkable detail. Comparing the rendition of the Macellum in the Naples model with the current state of the building gives some insights into its reconstruction. A comparison of the Naples Museum Model showing the state of the building in the late 19th century, and the computer model showing the current state. The difference in wall profile implies that wall material has been added, removed, or both since the development of the Naples model.
