Plan de Rome, Scale model museum at University of Caen, France
The Plan de Rome displays a plaster representation of ancient Rome measuring 11 meters by 6 meters at a scale of 1:400.
French architect Paul Bigot created this detailed representation of Rome during the Constantine era at the beginning of the fourth century CE.
The scale model provides researchers and students with physical evidence of Roman urban organization, architecture, and engineering methods from antiquity.
Visitors can explore the model at the Maison de la Recherche en Sciences Humaines from Monday to Friday between 7:30 and 20:00, and Saturdays until 19:00.
The digital version of this model is available through an interactive platform at rome.unicaen.fr, enabling worldwide access to ancient Roman architecture.

Caen bears traces of its past in every stone. The castle built by William the Conqueror in the 11th century still overlooks the city, while the Abbey of Men and the Abbey of Women testify to the power of the Norman dukes. Saint-Pierre Church rises with its 73-meter Gothic tower, and in the streets of Vaugueux, half-timbered houses recall medieval life. The Caen Memorial tells about World War II and the Normandy Battle, periods that deeply affected the city. Between history and nature, Caen also offers places of rest. The Botanical Garden, created in 1848, houses thousands of plant species within its greenhouses and arboretum. The Park of the Hill of Birds, developed over 17 hectares, features themed gardens and viewpoints over the city. From the Fine Arts Museum located within the castle to the Leroy Tower on the Orne quays, each site invites to discover different periods. Visiting Caen means exploring ten centuries of architecture and events that have shaped Normandy.
