Pianta archeologica a proiezione verticale, con rappresentazione in alzato degli edifici antichi. Disegnata ed ideata da Pirro Ligorio, viene incisa da Jacob Bos per l’editore Tramezzino. Si tratta della grande pianta archeologica del Ligorio, frutto della sua valente esperienza di archeologo, che ebbe una grande influenza sulla produzione topografica della città per oltre due secoli. Per elaborare questa pianta, si avvalse della sua profonda conoscenza archeologica delle rovine di Roma, delle fonti classiche e di una vasta documentazione costituita da iscrizioni, bassorilievi e monete antiche. Per la parte topografica il Ligorio si basa sulla pianta del Bufalini del 1551.Roma entro le mura appare come un fantasioso insieme di edifici, alcuni noti e ancora presenti e altri che, sebbene localizzati con una certa esattezza, indubbiamente sono frutto di ricostruzioni abbastanza fantasiose. Non mancano gli errori di localizzazione, come ad esempio il Foro Romano, erroneamente collocato tra il Campidoglio ed il Palatino. Il primo stato della carta è noto solo attraverso gli esemplari conservati al British Museum e alla Philadelphia Library Company. La carta ebbe una ristampa inalterata, circa un secolo dopo per mano di Gian Battista de Rossi. Dopo un altro secolo circa (1773) anche Carlo Losi ne realizza una ristampa dalle lastre originali, che poi furono acquisite da Giovanni Scudellari e ristampate verso il 1820/30.In alto, lungo il bordo superiore, è impresso il titolo: ANTEIQUAE URBIS IMAGO ACCURATISSIME EX VETUSTEIS MONUMENTEIS FORMATA. Nel cartiglio all’angolo superiore sinistro si legge: EFFIGIES ANTIQUAE ROMAE EXVESTIGIIS AEDIFICIORUM RUINIS TESTIMONIO VETERUM AUCTORUM FIDE NUMISMATUM MONUMENTIS AENEIS PLUMBAEIS SAXEIS TIGLINISQUE COLLECTA ATQUE IN HANC TABELLAM REDACTA ATQUE DESCRIPTA A PYRRHO LIGORIO ROMANO PER XIIII REGIONES IN QUAS URBEM DIVISIT IMP CAESAR. AUG. PIOQUE IIII PONT MAX DICATA EXCUDERUNT ROMAE MICHAEL ET FRANCISCUS TRAMEZZINI M.D.LXI. Seguono l’indicazione del privilegio e la firma dell’incisore: Cum privilegio Sum[m]i Pont[ificis] et Senat[us] Venet[iani]. Iacobus Bossius belga incidebat. Orientazione fornita dal punto cardinale SEPTENTRIONE, indicazione collocata nell’angolo in alto a sinistra; il nord-est è in alto. Nella tavola alcuni monumenti e luoghi sono evidenziati attraverso il toponimo.Bulino, stampato su dodici fogli, applicati su tela e più volte ripiegati.

Archaeological map with vertical projection, with representation in elevation of ancient buildings. Designed and conceived by Pirro Ligorio, it is engraved by Jacob Bos for the publisher Tramezzino. It is the great archaeological plant of Ligorio, the result of his valuable experience as an archaeologist, which had a great influence on the topographic production of the city for over two centuries. In order to elaborate this plan, he used his deep archaeological knowledge of the ruins of Rome, classical sources and a vast documentation consisting of inscriptions, bas-reliefs and ancient coins. For the topographic part Ligorio is based on the map by Bufalini of 1551.Rome within the walls appears as a fanciful set of buildings, some of them known and still present and others that, although located with a certain accuracy, are undoubtedly the result of quite fanciful reconstructions. There is no lack of localization errors, such as the Roman Forum, erroneously located between the Capitol and the Palatine Hill. The first state of the map is known only through the examples preserved at the British Museum and the Philadelphia Library Company. The ma was reprinted unchanged, about a century later by Gian Battista de Rossi. After another century or so (1773) Carlo Losi also made a reprint from the original plates, which were then acquired by Giovanni Scudellari and reprinted around 1820/30.At the top, along the upper edge, is engraved the title: ANTEIQUAE URBIS IMAGO ACCURATISSIME EX VETUSTEIS MONUMENTEIS FORMATA. In the cartouche in the upper left: EFFIGIES ANTIQUAE ROMAE EXVESTIGIIS AEDIFICIORUM RUINIS TESTIMONIO VETERUM AUCTORUM FIDE NUMISMATUM MONUMENTS AENEIS PLUMBAEIS SAXEIS TIGLINISQUE COLLECTA ATQUE IN HANC TABELLAM REDACTA ATQUE DESCRIPTA A PYRRHO LIGORIO ROMANO PER XIIII REGIONES IN QUAS URBEM DIVISIT IMP CAESAR.
