![[Temple of Hercules Victor] Interno del Pronao del Tempio di Vesta, in Roma.](jpegs/51534.jpg)
[Temple of Hercules Victor] Interno del Pronao del Tempio di Vesta, in Roma.
Rossini dis. e inc.
Roma 1819.
Etching. 470 x 370mm (18½ x 14½"), with large margins, uncut.
A view under the colonnade of the Temple of Hercules Victor in the Foro Boario which, because it is a 'tholos' (a round temple with an external colonnade) was mis-identified as a Temple of Vesta. Built at the end of the 2nd century BC, it is earliest surviving marble building in Rome, although the tile roof is a later replacement.
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[?]'.
[Ref: 51534] £600.00
