Description
Large wall map of the most famous plan of Ancient Rome. The plate in 8 sheets is engraved by and first published by Stephanus Du Perac in 1574: re-published by Villamena and then by de G.J.Rossi published between 1649 and 1691.
For this edition, G.J.Rossi added underneath the eight-sheet map a suite of 12 engravings representing the triumphs of the Roman Emperors, described by the antique dealer and historian from Verona Onufrio Panvinio (1529-1568). This series was first published in 1618.
The first panel has the new publisher's address and 11 engravings of historical scenes.Amplissimi ornatissinniq triumphi.. The engravings are numbered from 1-11. Underneath, he added a numbered key (1-159) to identify the monuments in town.
In the bottom is a label of the publisher Io. Iacob de Rubeis.
The cartouche to the right reads : KAROLO IX GALLARVM REGI CHRISTIANISSIMO STEPHANVS DV PERAC PARISIENSIS Quanta fuerit veteris illius populi R. potentia atque amplitudo, Karole regu maxime omnes sciunt: quae autem ipsius urbis, antiquis temporibus, maiestas ac pulchritudo, non aliunde melius ac certius cognosci potest, quam ex admirabilibus veterum aedifitioru vestigijs, quae adhuc in urbe visuntur, et ex ijs quae quotidie ex ipsis terrae visceribus eruuntur. In coru ego diligenti questigatione, acri animadversione, accurata descriptione, quindecim iam annos, magno cum labore, aliquo, ut spero, cum fructu, incredibili certe cum animi praeclara illa nobilissimoru artificii opera intuitis oblectatione consumpsi. Quo toto tempore descripsi infinitam quandam vim veteru inscriptionu , omnia rudera, omnes parietinas, omnes denique cuiusque generis uetustatis reliquias et curiosissime inspexi, et diligentissime expressi: perpetuo adnotans, quo quidque loco repertu atque erutum esset. Cum autem haec omnia colligissem, et cu ijs quae a vetustis scriptoribus eodem pertimentia accepimus, adhibito eruditissimorum hominu iuditio, contulissem iudicavi, si veteris illius Romae imaginem a me summa fide et diligentia expressam hominibus antiquitatis studiosis exhiberem, neque indecoru id mihi, neque alijs aut inutile, aut iniucundum fore. Multu autem mihi ad id efficiendum et animi et auxilij attulit vetus eiusdem urbis ichnographia in tabulis marmoreis effossa Pij.IIII. temporibus ad aedem Sanctor Cosmae et Damiani, ubi olim ipsius Romae templum fuit, quam Septimij Severi, et Antonini Caracallae temporibus effictam esse constabat. Ea etsi in multa tesselas ita confracta ac comminuta erat ut incredibilis in eis concinnandis capiendus fuerit labor, cum tamen eius inspiciendae ac describendae mihi potestatem fecisset. Alexander Farnesius Cardinalis amplissimus, cuius ea nunc est, magno mihi auxilio ad perficiendum id quod uolebam fuit [...dedication...] magno ac plane regio animo psequare. Romae KAL. APRIL M.D.LXXIIII Excudebat Romae Franciscus Villamoena.
