Presentation :

Aerial view of the Bibracte horse park (Mont Beuvray). The drawing is in landscape format and has no frame. Inscriptions appear on the reverse.
This is a view of the area from south to north. In the lower part of the drawing, two huge domus are built along the road. Both are organized around a garden and pool enclosed by a colonnaded portico (peristyle). More modest dwellings were built in the surrounding area.
