This architectural engraving by Giacomo Lauro presents a reconstruction of the Domus C. Caesaris (House of Caesar) where the Temple of Peace (Templum Pacis) stood in ancient Rome. The composition reflects early 17th-century antiquarian interest in classical ruins, rendered in meticulous detail and accompanied by a Latin inscription describing the site's historical context. Lauro’s work belongs to a tradition of Roman topographical prints aiming to visually restore the grandeur of imperial monuments.

Giacomo Lauro (c.1550–1645) was an Italian engraver and publisher active in Rome, best known for his series Antiquae Urbis Splendor, which illustrated reconstructions of ancient Roman architecture. His engravings blend historical imagination with scholarly research, contributing significantly to early modern visual archaeology.
