An 1850 view of the Meta Sudans and the Arch of Constantine

Posted on by Roger Pearse

Another splendid find from Roma Ieri Oggi!  This shows the Meta Sudans, with the Arch of Constantine and the ruins of the Palatine … in 1850!  Unusually this was taken from high-up in the Colosseum.  Marvellous!

  4. I was just thinking of your fascinating ‘series’ of views of the Meta Sudans the other day while enjoying the LibriVox audio version of Nicholas Cardinal Wiseman’s Fabiola or, the Church of the Catacombs, first published in 1854, in which it is mentioned – and here is the Meta Sudans as he would have seen it! Thank you!
