The arch of Gallienus occupies the site of the old Porta Esquilina in the Servian wall. It was erected in the time of Augustus, and was dedicated to the Emperor Gallienus and his consort Salonina in 262

Luigi Rossini was a master engraver who produced over one thousand plates of buildings, ruins, gardens and monuments. His career coincided with a period of great archeological activity. His etchings of Rome followed Piranesi's example, and reported the latest excavations to an avidly interested European audience. In turn, as they were carried home by Northern Europeans on the Grand Tour, the etchings fuelled worldwide interest in classical architecture.
