Veduta del Tempio Delle Camene, da Altri del Dio Ridicolo___fuori di Porta Latina nella Valle Della Caffarella.
Rossini dis. e inc.
Roma 1823.
Etching. 460 x 615mm (18 x 24¼"), with large margins, uncut. Tear just touching plate at bottom.
A building in the Park of the Caffarella, possibly the tomb of Aspasia Annia Regilla, wife of Herodes Atticus, once owner of the estate. Rossini attributed the building to either the Temple of the Camenae (four goddesses of childbirth, wells and fountains) or the Temple of the God Rediculum (the god that Romans honoured at the beginning and end of each journey). It is believed to be the spot where Hannibal turned back from Rome.
The first state, before the plate number, issued unbound. From an early 19th century folder titled 'Roman Engravings. The Property of Major E.G.G. Rugdon[?]'.

[Temple of the Dioscuri] Avanzi del Tempio di Giove Statore nel Foro Romano.
Rossini dis. e inc.
Roma 1821.
Etching. 460 x 390mm (18 x 15¼"), with large margins, uncut.
Rather than being the Temple of Jove, these are the remains of the Temple of the Dioscuri (Castor and Pollux) in the Roman Forum. First built in 494BC, it was restored many times, so these columns date from the temple, dedicated by Tiberias in 6AD. The Dioscuri were the patrons of the Knights who every year held an impressive parade outside the temple. Under the columns is a little scene of riders driving bulls through the forum, drawn by Bartolomeo Pinelli to add life to Rossini's architecture.
