Danesi Graphic Arts Workshops, Rome. Unique enterprise documenting the excavation of the southeast corner of the Forum Pacis in Rome. In 1562 excavations yielded a number of marble slabs of a building which appeared to have housed administrative archives which was dated A.D. 203-211. Subsequent discoveries found additional fragments fitting against each other and it became apparent that these slabs presented a plan of the ancient city, representing app. one-tenth of the original surface, clearly incorporating the results of the administrative reforms of the Roman emperor Septimius Severus. This expansive documentation is illustrated with numerous maps and plans as well as eight plates with b/w photographs of artifacts, maps and plans in the text volume, and 54 plates with lithographed plans and maps as well a as artifacts in same size portfolio.
