Notes
This view attributed to Jean-Baptiste Lallemand is probably along the Nova Via on the northern edge of the Palatine in Rome. The archway is possibly one of the substructures of the Domus Tiberiana. This scene was much altered as a result of the excavations of c.1882 (see E. Nash, Pictorial Dictionary of Ancient Rome, London, 1968, vol.I, p.334).
