A finely executed view of the approach to Ancient Rome, engraved by Francois Halma in Amsterdam, offers a detailed and lively depiction of the Roman road outside the city and the surrounding streets. The image shows a bustling scene, with people, horses and carriages travelling along the road and through the city. Temples, a triumphal arch, an aqueduct, a bridge over the River Tiber and the Mediterranean Sea in the distance are all visible.
One of the distinctive features of Rome shown on the map is the vast road network. Built on the foundations of the ancient Roman Empire, many of the original roads were still in use in the 18th century. The map showcases the style and engineering features of Roman roads, with the monuments and principal buildings of Ancient Rome visible on the horizon, beyond the city's fortified walls.
