This etching, *Beginning "Iscrizione nei lati del Ponte di Rimino" ("Inscription on the side of the Rimini Bridge") and followed by an index of plates in the volume.* (1743-1753) by Giovanni Battista Piranesi, is a detailed record of ancient Roman inscriptions. Piranesi's interest in Roman architecture and history is evident in this work, which serves as an index of the plates contained in his larger work, *Le Antichità Romane*. The intricate engraving style, complete with elaborate ornamentation, exemplifies the artistic style popular during the Neoclassical period. The sheet is part of a larger collection of prints illustrating the archeological remains of ancient Rome, now at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York.
