This is a black and white photograph of the Tomb called "Due Rescicolo" in Rome. The tomb was built to commemorate the return of the army of Hannibal. The tomb is located about two miles outside of the Porta Appia, on the eastern side of that road, but in the valley of the Caffarella, below the level of the road, and not visible from it. The name "Due Rescicolo" comes from the word "Rescicolo", a genus of Zeus. The tomb is more of a shrine than a tomb, it is sometimes called a temple, and it is supposed to have been dedicated to the "Gandara", the river god Almo, as it stands on the bank of the small river of that name.
