Conjectural reconstruction of the Septizodium (or Septizonium), Rome

SOURCE: Giovanni Battista Montano. Li cinque libri di Architettura (Roma, 1691), pl. XXX NOTES: It seems that the building had no practical purpose and was built to impress visitors to Rome arriving by the via Appia. Montano might have made this drawing before it was demolished in 1589.
