EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning handcoloured copperplate engraving depicts the plan and elevation of the Baths of Titus, also known as the Thermae Titi or Terme di Tito, in Rome. Built by Emperor Titus in AD 81, these public baths were a grand addition to the Roman Palace complex on the Palatine Hill. The Baths of Titus were a significant expansion of the bathing facilities provided by his predecessor, Emperor Vespasian, and were part of a larger program of public works initiated by the Flavian dynasty. The Baths of Titus featured a variety of facilities, including hot and cold baths, saunas, exercise rooms, and a swimming pool. The complex also included a large open-air theatre, which could accommodate up to 4,000 spectators, and a circus for chariot racing. The baths were renowned for their architectural innovations, including the use of underfloor heating and a sophisticated water supply system. The engraving, created by Corsi from Giulio Ferrario's Costumes Ancient and Modern of the Peoples of the World, published in Florence in 1843, provides a detailed and accurate representation of the Baths of Titus. The plan shows the layout of the various facilities, while the elevation offers a view of the exterior facade. The engraving also includes a lion, a symbol of imperial power, and references to other structures associated with the Caesars, such as the House of Augustus and the Palace of the De Cesari. This historical illustration offers a fascinating glimpse into the grandeur of ancient Roman architecture and the luxurious lifestyle of the Roman elite. The Baths of Titus were a testament to the power and wealth of the Roman Empire and remain an enduring symbol of its cultural achievements.
