An extremely interesting exhibition has
Just been opened near the National Mu-
scum of the Thermae. in a room which
has actually one of the vaults OF the
baths Of Diocletian, consisting of a re-
construction of Rome in the time OF Con-
stantine, about A.D. $50 or little later.
This model. executed in white plaster. is
about ten yards in length and six In
width and shows the several buildings
Of the ancient city. IL not with all their
architectural detail. at least on a scale
which makes them easily recognizable.
The work is that Of NJ. Bigot. formerly
a pensionnaire Of the. French Academy
in Rome, and one OF the most brilliant
Of the students of architecture who have
belonged to that famous institution. II
has been the labor of nearly eight years
and now beays eloquent witness. not
only to the patient toll Of its constructor.
but also to his careful archaeological re-
search and architectural skill.
NJ. Bigot has. step by step, consulted
all the best living authorities in Roman
archaeology in addition to existent rec
ords and literature on the subject The
result is q plan or model Of ancient
Rome which, geographically considered,
may be said to be the most authoritative
vet constructed.
