Aerial view of the naumachia of Augustus in Roma (Rome). The drawing is in landscape format and has no frame. A grid and inscriptions appear on the reverse.
The basin is located in the Trastevere district, in the immediate vicinity of the Tiber. Oblong in shape, it is lined with steps. A gate allows boats to enter. A small port allows boats to wait before entering.
