This 1585 engraving by an anonymous artist depicts a bird's-eye view of the Baths of Agrippa, a Roman bath complex built by Marcus Vipsanius Agrippa in the 1st century BC. The detailed plan includes various rooms and structures, labeled with Latin terms for their functions, such as "tepidarium" (warm room) and "frigidarium" (cold room). The engraving's clear lines and meticulous detail showcase the architectural complexity of the Baths of Agrippa, highlighting the grandeur and sophistication of Roman bathing culture.
