Aerial view of the Regia, the Temple of Vesta and Caesar’s residence in Roma (Rome). The drawing is in landscape format. It is organized within a frame drawn in ink. Inscriptions and traces of watercolor are visible in the margins. A sketch appears on the reverse.
The regia is on the right-hand side of the drawing. Nearby is the Arch of Fabianus, which gives access to a courtyard featuring the Temple of Vesta and Caesar’s residence, the House of the Vestals. A crowd of figures represent a triumphal procession in honor of Vesta.
