Description: INTERNATIONAL BUYERS:? The shipping rates shown are for '1st Class International Package' with tracking.? Ebay is also promoting their EIS International Shipping program on sellers pages. I do not use this program because it is more expensive, slower, not very transparent, and frustrating to the buyer, if something goes wrong. Do not select it, if ebay does show it as an option. Thank you.

Narrative: Under the direction of Prof. d'Espouy, the graduates of the famous Paris school of art, the Ecole des Beaux-Arts, measured, rendered and shaded the views of the famous monuments of ancient Greece and Rome. These drawing were then reproduced by a 19th C. process called heliography. Machine translation of the original French narrative: DIOCLETIAN'S BATHS: Diocletian did not often reside in Rome, however one of the most considerable monuments that one has there båli, recalls his memory. On Mount Viminal he built baths of almost equal importance to those of Caracalla. It is not strictly speaking the work of Diocletian alone, because an inscription tells us that the building was dedicated by four Augustes and two Caesars; we know that at this time (end of the 3rd century AD), the empire was divided between several masters. One can get an idea of the size of these baths by noting that they covered an area of nearly 15 hectares. One of the rooms, which was preserved until the 16th century, was transformed by Michelangelo into one of the largest churches in Rome, Santa-Maria degli Angeli. These baths were, as usual, surrounded by a crowd of constructions. accessories, places for physical exercises. We had not forgotten the entertainments of the mind: because we know that part of the Ulpian Library, founded by Trajan, was transported to the Baths of Diocletian. Legend to the principal rooms in the baths: A=Apodyterium, B=Piscina, C=Cella Media, E. game room, F= Body care, G=Tepidarium, g=staircase, H=Caldarium (heated) , I=Sudatorium, J=Caldarium (temperature is between that of I & K), K=Tepidarium (warmed), L=Frigidarium, N=Palestre, O=Ephebeum, S=Conversation Hall, T=Service Court, AA=Entrance, BB=Rooms for baths guards, CC=Philosopherrs Rooms, DD=Exedre, FF=Rotunda with the statue of Hygiene, KK=Conisterium, MM=Theater, mm=Mobile proscenium, NN=Stadium. CARACALLA'S BATHS: The Baths built by Antoninus Caracalla (AD 211-217), near where the via Latina and the via Appia divide, still partly survive, and these colossal ruins can give an idea of what was the monument in its entirety. The fragments scattered here and there and the testimony of ancient authors attest to the magnificence of the building. Care had been taken to adorn it with precious statues: The Farnese Bull, the Farnese Hercules, the Flora and the Venus now in the Museum of Naples, were discovered in the sixteenth century in the Baths of Caracalla.
