Rome: Temple of Antoninus and Faustina in Forum (photo: Caneva Archive 1850)
The
temple, located in the Forum, dates from the reign of Antoninus Pius
(AD 138-161) and was dedicated by him and his wife, the empress
Faustina. This 1850 calotype print is by Antonio Caneva, a member of
the early Roman photographic school of the 1850s-60s, which also
included Flancheron and Anderson.
At left is an oxcart, testament to the use of the Forum at that time as a cattle pasture.
