A 1654 Italian antiquarian volume printed in Rome by Filippo de' Rossi, offering a visual reconstruction of ancient Rome's temples, theatres, arches and monuments for scholars and readers of classical history. The engraved plates show architectural views, from aerial site plans and street-level facades to small temple models with statues, drawn in fine parallel hatching that a designer could study for classical architectural massing and ornament.
