11. View of the Temple of Jupiter Tonans ITALIAN Title: Veduta del Tempio di Giove Tonante Key: Il Tempio di Giove Tonante alle radici del Monte Capitolino fu da Ottaviano Augusto fabbricato per voto, e poscia dopo aver sofferto incendio con altre Fabbriche del vicino Campidoglio fu restituito dall’Imperatore Adriano. Per ciò, che si scopre in questo insigne Avanzo dell’Ambulacro esterno, tanto per la esquisita delicatezza e disposizione degl’intagli, quanto per la sodezza, e maestà della Fabbrica, egli può meritamente annoverarsi tra i più cospicui ornati edificj, che sono stati innalzati in quel secolo felice. 1 Colonne di marmo greco, di gran mole, e di un solo pezzo, in gran parte sepolte nel terreno. 2 Fianco del moderno Campidoglio, piantato sopra l’antico Tabulario, segnato 3. Signature: Presso l’Autore a Strada Felice vicino alla Trinità de monti Signature 2: Piranesi Archit(etto). dis(egnavit). ed inc(idit). ENGLISH Title: View of the Temple of Jupiter Tonans [Jupiter the Thunderer] Key: The Temple of Jupiter Tonans, located at the foot of the Capitoline Hill, was built by Octavian Augustus by vote and was restored by the Emperor Hadrian after having experienced a fire, along with other buildings located nearby in the Capitoline Hill. From what one observes in this renown Ruin of the exterior Ambulacrum, as much for the exquisite delicateness and arrangement of the carvings, as for the weightiness and majesty of the Structure, it can rightly be counted among the most notably ornamented buildings ever erected in that glorious century. 1 Columns of Greek marble, of great dimensions, and [built] of only one piece, in great part buried under the ground. 2 Side of the modern Capitoline Hill, built on top of the ancient Tabularium, labelled 3. Signature: Published by the Author in Strada Felice close to the Trinità de Monti. Signature 2: Designed and engraved by the Architect Piranesi.
