520 2 # $a A title variant appears on the added engraved title-plate: 'Fabbriche Antiche Disegnate Da Andrea Palladio Vicentino E Date In Luce Da Ricardo Conte Di Burlington'. This work was published the same year in French (Les thermes des Romains) and in a French-Italian bilingual edition.

The text describes the larger public baths constructed at Rome between the first and fourth centuries - the baths of Agrippa, Nero, 'Vespasian' [i.e. those of Titus], 'Titus' [i.e. those of Trajan], Caracalla, Diocletian and Constantine, and 'Alcuni Altri Disegni Appartenenti Alle Terme'.

The plates show plans, elevations, sections and details of orders. They are based on those in the Fabbriche Antiche Disegnate da Andrea Palladio, published by Lord Burlington (dated 1730 but probably published between 1736 and 1740), which in turn were based on Palladio's drawings. Not included in Burlington's edition but published here is the plan of the Baths of Agrippa, which is based on a drawing by Tommaso Temanza.
