"Pervetusti Campi Martii Monimentum" is an excellent engraving by François Halma, published in 1704. This detailed map of the Campus Martius, an important archaeological area that was once the most populous part of Rome, is prized for its accuracy and artistic quality. Halma succeeds in combining topographical precision with artistic elegance.
The work illustrates the ancient layout of the Campus Martius, highlighting numerous monuments, temples and forums, including the Pantheon, which still stands today and is among the most reproduced buildings in Rome. The engraving is enriched by decorative elements, such as an angelic scribe and a fallen Roman monument, which add an artistic touch to the historical depiction.
