96 Giacomo Lauro – House of Marcus Tullius Cicero – c. 1615
This architectural engraving by Giacomo Lauro presents a reconstructed view of the domus of Marcus Tullius Cicero, the famed Roman orator, philosopher, and statesman. The composition follows a neoclassical ideal, featuring symmetrical facades, arcades, and sculptural ornamentation in elevated tiers, projecting both rhetorical and architectural grandeur. It forms part of Lauro’s Antiquae Urbis Splendor, which visualized prominent Roman figures’ homes and public monuments through scholarly conjecture and artistic interpretation.
Giacomo Lauro (active c.1580–1640) was an Italian engraver and publisher based in Rome. He is best known for Antiquae Urbis Splendor, a multi-decade project reconstructing ancient Roman buildings in architectural engravings. Combining Renaissance classicism with scholarly imagination, Lauro’s work remains a vivid visual archive of Rome’s lost monuments.
