[Domus Severiana] Veduta degli Avanzi della Casa Aurea di Nerone, sul Monte Palatino, Della porte riguardante il Circo Massimo.
Rossini dis. e inc.
Roma 1823.
Etching. 390 x 540mm (15¼ x 21¼"), with large margins, uncut. Crease lower right.
The arches built to extend the Palatine Hill out for the construction of the Domus Severiana by Septimus Severus, which included a palace and baths. Rossini equates the building to the Domus Aurea ('Golden House'), the palace of entertainment built by Nero in AD 64 after the famous fire that destroyed much of Rome (when he 'fiddled').
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: 51557] £400.00
