Ædificiorvm Et Rvinarvm Romæ Ex Antiqvis Atqve Hodiernis Monimentis Liber ...
Ædificiorvm Et Rvinarvm Romæ is an early seventeenth-century engraved book of Roman buildings and ruins, made by Giovanni Maggi and published in 1618, with Latin captions for an antiquarian audience. The four plates show plain architectural elevations: a domed tomb-like drum with a brick base, a centrally planned temple with a colonnaded porch, a partly ruined amphitheatre wall with arcades, and a small domed temple on a stepped podium. Their sharp line hatching and clear outlines suggest a model for drawing masonry, arches, and domes.
