- Summary
- Titled in full Urbis Romae, totius olim orbis domitricis, situs: cum adhuc extantibus, sacrosanctae vetustatis monumentis, this map bears the inscription PIRRHO LIGORIO NEAP. INVENTOR. Pirro Ligorio's topographical map was originally published in 1552 and was the first of its kind, inspiring later plans of Rome like those by Étienne Dupérac. This map was among the prints published in the Speculum Romanae Magnificentiae by Antonio Lafreri in the 1570s. This example represents an early state of Ligorio's map of the ancient city of Rome.
