Roman Lutetia: The City Beneath Modern Paris (AI Reconstruction)

Описание: Long before Paris became Paris, it was Lutetia — a Roman city built on the foundations of an earlier Gallic settlement.

This video explores the Roman origins of Paris, reconstructing Lutetia as it existed between the 1st and 5th centuries CE, and revealing how its streets, walls, river crossings, and civic buildings shaped the city we know today.

Using historically grounded AI reconstructions, we compare modern Paris locations with their ancient Roman counterparts, showing before-and-after views of places like the Île de la Cité, Roman streets, river ports, and civic spaces. These scenes are not speculative fantasy — they are based on archaeology, urban continuity, and known Roman planning principles.

You’ll see how Roman infrastructure quietly survives beneath today’s city, how Lutetia adapted during the decline of Roman rule, and why Paris developed where it did — not by accident, but by geography, trade, and defense.

This is not a story of emperors or battles, but of urban continuity: how a Roman provincial town became the foundation of one of the world’s great cities.

ArcAtlas Lab creates cinematic, historically accurate reconstructions of real places — showing how cities evolve over centuries while retaining their deepest structures.
