The Gallo-Roman rampart visible in the museum's basement was constructed using an ancient recycling practice - the Romans repurposed column shafts, sculpted blocks, and capitals from abandoned city buildings to build the fortification. This 1,145-meter defensive wall once protected 9 hectares of the ancient city of Mediolanum Aulercorum, the Roman name for Évreux.
