mapsontheweb:Rome, Fragments from a Map on MarbleIn these fragments from the marble map of Rome, one can discern an outer wall enclosing a double row of columns. On the long sides are two semi-circular exedrae and a central square niche, all fronted by another row of columns. Along the southern wall is another semi-circular apse opposite a broad flight of steps from the Clivus Suburanus. The rectangular feature in the center may been a fountain or possibly the shrine to Concordia (Aedes Concordiae) built by Livia and presented to Augustus.There is a project to identify, scan and reconstruct the map as far as is possible http://formaurbis.stanford.edu/index.htmlI didn’t know about this Stanford project. Neat! -- source link
