It is not oriented northwards, like modern maps, but faces east towards the altar in such a fashion that the position of places on the map coincides with the actual compass directions. Originally, it measured 21 by 7 m and contained over two million tesserae. Its current dimensions are 16 by 5 m. (Wikipedia)

Nice vintage map. You can never have too many maps.

To complete the Library of Congress - National Library Service project from earlier this year, we created this tactile floor plan map in partnership with LightHouse for the Blind - San Francisco Bay Area. LightHouse created the 3D print map on acrylic, and we fabricated the custom freestanding table display in house. This map will replace an outdated sign in their main lobby, and will be used to direct visually impaired visitors in Washington DC.
