Created in the 17th century, this etching beautifully captures the architectural marvel that once stood proudly in Italy's capital city. The image showcases the Flavian Amphitheatre's crumbling remains, revealing its intricate structure and immense scale. The artist skillfully highlights every detail with precise lines and shading techniques, emphasizing both the beauty and decay of this archaeological site.
