This was once thought to be the temple of Deus Rediculus, marking the spot where Hannibal turned back from Rome. However, it is a very elaborate tomb, possibly erected for his greatly loved wife Annia Regilla by Herodes Anticus, whose villa gardens spread over this area.
Luigi Rossini was a master engraver who produced over one thousand plates of buildings, ruins, gardens and monuments. His career coincided with a period of great archeological activity. His etchings of Rome followed Piranesi\'s example, and reported the latest excavations to an avidly interested European audience. In turn, as they were carried home by Northern Europeans on the Grand Tour, the etchings fuelled worldwide interest in classical architecture.
