The Temple of Portunus, the god of the harbours, built in the Forum Boarium in the second century BC. It is one of the best preserved of all Roman temples, mainly because it was converted in 872, becoming the church of Santa Maria Egiziaca (Mary of Egypt, patron saint on penitants).
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[?]'.
