This etching by Giovanni Battista Piranesi, titled "The Roman Antiquities, t. 3, Plate XXI. Plan of the burial chambers of `freedmen and servants of the family of Augustus, situated on the Appian Way a mile from the Port of St. Sebastiano" is a detailed plan of an ancient Roman burial chamber. Piranesi, an Italian artist known for his architectural etchings of ancient Rome, meticulously rendered the layout of the structure, including its chambers, walls, and decorative elements. This print, part of his larger work, "Antichita Romane," provides valuable insight into the funerary practices and architectural designs of ancient Rome.
