You can freely visit the "map of Rome", displayed in the hall of the House of Research in the Humanities (MRSH). A guided tour will be planned and you will discover some remarkable buildings that have been restored in Virtual Reality. The Plan of Rome is a plaster model of about 70 m², made on a scale of 1/400, which represents the 3/5 of the city of Rome at the time of Constantine, at the beginning of the 4th century AD. Its creator, the architect Paul Bigot (born in Orbec in 1870, died in Paris in 1942), Grand Prix de Rome in 1900, devoted most of his life to this reconstruction of the city of Rome.
