[Temple of Romulus] Veduta del Tempio di Remo nel Foro Romano.
Rossini dis. e inc.
Roma 1820.
Etching. 470 x 370mm (18½ x 14½"), with large margins, uncut.
The Temple of Divus Romulus, along the Via Sacra in the Roman Forum. Valerius Romulus, son of Emperor Maxentius, was consul in AD 308 and 309, and was deified when he died in 309. It is now the basilica of Santi Cosma e Damiano. The bronze doors are the originals of the 4th century, with a lock that still works; the two columns are porphyry columns; the entablature was taken from another classical building and has now been removed.
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: 51562] £400.00
