Marion DESSAINT FROM THE FIRST CARTOGRAPHIC REPRESENTATIONS OF LUTETIA TO THE USE OF DIGITAL GEOGRAPHICAL DATA (R&CAP)

Abstract

Lutetia has been the subject of studies and geographical representations since the 16th century. Methodological progress and the development of Parisian archaeology have enabled passage from a fantasized view of the Roman city to a precise and flexible mapping of remains. The works of P. Jollois (1840) and A. Lenoir (1867), containing the first plans from archaeological excavations, marked a turning point. In 1912, F.-G. de Pachtère collated all the remains discovered by Théodore Vacquer, pioneer of Parisian archaeology. More recently, technological advances have enabled creation of the first digitised archaeological map of Roman Paris, as part of the R&CAP project.
