The Ancient map of Rome engraved by Georg Braun and Frans Hogenberg is a richly illustrated bird’s-eye view of the city, featured in their monumental work Civitates Orbis Terrarum, published between 1572 and 1617. This detailed engraving offers a stylized yet informative depiction of ancient Rome, complete with labeled landmarks such as the Colosseum, Roman Forum, and aqueducts. The composition emphasizes classical grandeur, often including human figures in historical dress, allegorical scenes, and Latin inscriptions. Engraved on copperplate and hand-colored in many editions, it reflects the blend of cartographic precision and artistic embellishment typical of early modern city views.
Georg Braun was the editor and driving force behind the Civitates, while Frans Hogenberg, a skilled engraver, brought these urban vistas to life. Based in Cologne, their collaboration produced over 500 city views from across the known world, forming one of the most comprehensive urban atlases of the Renaissance. Braun focused on gathering geographic and historical information, while Hogenberg executed the engravings with precision and dramatic flair.
