Hieronymus Cock (c.1517-70) visited Rome in the late 1540s, inspiring him to start up his own publishing firm in Antwerp in 1548, which became the most important print publishing firm from outside Italy.

However this plate seems to have been acquired by the van Doetecum brothers, who published it in 'Operum Antiquorum Romanorum' in 1562, with Cock's name removed.
