Inscripties uit de graftombe van de vrijgelatenen en slaafgemaakten van de familie van Augustus c. 1756 - 1757

This etching by Giovanni Battista Piranesi, created between 1756 and 1757, showcases "Inscriptions from the Burial Chambers of the Freedmen and Slaves of the Family of Augustus." The artwork meticulously portrays an array of rectangular stone slabs, each inscribed with names and epitaphs in Latin, offering a glimpse into the lives of individuals who served the Roman Imperial family. Piranesi's detailed depiction of these inscriptions, found in the burial chambers of the Roman Imperial family, is a testament to his interest in Roman archaeology and architecture.
