description: Pirro Ligorio's Libro delle antichità di Roma (Venice 1553) comprises two separate treatises. The first text  treats primarily the circuses, theaters, and amphitheaters of the ancient city, the second contains Ligorio’s opinions, which contradict many of his predecessors, concerning the correct location of numerous ancient Roman monuments. They are to be seen as explanations and additions to his engravings of the ancient plan of Rome and his reconstructions of several ancient monuments. The Libro compends a great deal of material contained in Ligorio’s forty manuscript books on Roman antiquities and its dedication to Cardinal Ippolito d’Este may well reflect Ligorio’s hopes of a financial support for the publication of the whole.
