"Speculum Romanae Magnificentiae: Baths of Agrippa" is an anonymous engraving from 1585 depicting the Baths of Agrippa in Rome. The artwork is a bird's-eye view of the baths, showing the various rooms and features of the complex. The detailed depiction with labelled rooms, such as "Tepidarium" and "Frigidarium", likely served as a visual guide or plan for visitors and scholars interested in Roman architecture. The engraving's perspective and clarity make it a valuable resource for understanding the layout and function of this significant ancient structure.
