Catalogue Note
Dédié au pape Clément X, l'ouvrage est une description richement illustrée en taille-douce de la campagne romaine. Kircher explore ce parcours topographique, avec une prédilection pour les ruines, et interprète en archéologue la survivance des dieux antiques, à la lumière des croyances mythologiques.
