The Baths of Caracalla were one of the most grandiose structures of ancient Rome, and were rightfully considered one of the wonders of the Eternal City. In terms of the luxury of decoration, they were more reminiscent of the imperial palace, only they were available to the entire population.

Giovanni Battista Piranesi
Piranesi arrived in Rome in 1740 and quickly perceived the demand for views of the city. By 1748, he had produced the first of 135 etchings of classical and Baroque Rome, the 'Vedute di Roma' (Views of Rome). The series evolved over the remaining three decades of his career. This view of the Palazzo Mancini (the seat of the French Academy since 1725), emphasizes the dramatic perspective of the Corso and reveals Piranesi's interest in the topography as well as in contemporary urban life.

Temple of the Four Winds, Castle Howard 1701
Castle Howard, the home of the Howard family for over 300 years, maybe best known as the filming location for the series Brideshead Revisited. This is a small temple at the far end of the extensive grounds. The building was used for entertaining, including a wedding. It's a very romantic place with marvellous views of the English countryside.

Pheidias' workshop
The top of each Parthenon pediment was adorned by one big acroterion in the form of a palmette placed on a low marble base. The reconstructed acroterion exhibited in the Acropolis Museum aims to visualise the impressive size of the two acroterions that exceed three metres and highlight their design novelty that draws on the combination of acanthus and palm tree leaves.
