= Wilton-Ely 373; Focillon 238. On Le Antichità Romane: "After over eight years of careful study and excavation Piranesi produced this four-volume work which swiftly established his reputation in Europe as the leading protagonist of Roman archeology. (...) His aim, as with all his archeological publications, was two-flold - to record the vanishing past for scholars and to inspire contemporary designers to emulate the achievements of the past." (Wilton-Ely, p.327).
