This view offers a meticulous depiction of ancient Rome within its walls, with particular attention to the main buildings outside them as well. At the bottom of the map, a legend identifies the principal monuments and landmarks.
The map is based on the work of Nicolas van Aelst, engraved around 1575. Some historians, as reported by Bifolco, have attributed this view to Gian Giacomo de Rossi, who is said to have republished the map in 1637, adding his own address and date. However, Bifolco believes the view was almost certainly published around 1600.
The map is oriented with east at the top, allowing a detailed and unique view of the city as it was in ancient times.
