This print showcases "The Tomb of the Scipio Family (Sepolcro della famiglia de Scipioni)" dating back to around 1748. Housed in a private collection, this exquisite piece takes us on a journey through time, immersing us in the rich history of ancient Rome and the Punic Wars.

The sepulcher stands as a testament to their importance and influence during this tumultuous period in Roman history.

It serves as a reminder not only of Rome's triumph over Carthage but also of the enduring legacy left behind by figures like Scipio Africanus. Intriguingly blending elements from Phoenician culture with Roman aesthetics, this veduta painting encapsulates an era when empires clashed and destinies were shaped on bloody battlefields.
