[Veduta degl'avanzi della Curia Ostilia sul Monte Celio.]
Rossini fece Roma 1817.
Etching, proof before letters. 205 x 300mm (8 x 11¾"), with very large margins. Some rubbing.
According to Rossini these are the remains of the Curia Hostilia, an early Senate House built by Tullius Hostilius, the third king of Rome, on Monte Caelio. However it is more likely to be a substructure of the Temple of Claudius. Published as the frontispiece to Luigi Rossini's 'Antichita di Roma divise in 40 vedute'.
