Veduta del Tempio Delle Camene, da Altri del Dio Ridicolo___fuori di Porta Latina nella Valle Della Caffarella.

Veduta del Tempio Delle Camene, da Altri del Dio Ridicolo___fuori di Porta Latina nella Valle Della Caffarella.

Rossini dis. e inc.
Roma 1823.
Etching. 460 x 615mm (18 x 24¼").
A building in the Park of the Caffarella, possibly the tomb of Aspasia Annia Regilla, wife of Herodes Atticus, once owner of the estate. Rossini attributed the building to either the Temple of the Camenae (four goddesses of childbirth, wells and fountains) or the Temple of the God Rediculum (the god that Romans honoured at the beginning and end of each journey). It is believed to be the spot where Hannibal turned back from Rome.
