About this work
Allegory on the history of the city of Rome. In the foreground, History sits with a pen in her hand, looking up at a statue of Emperor Antoninus Pius. On the clouds sit Truth and Father Time. In the background, the city of Rome. In the foreground, the river god of the Tiber, and Romulus and Remus in the reeds. Presumably a title page for a book about the city of Rome.
