The diagram highlights the proportion and detailing of the architectural orders, representing a section of a major Roman structure such as the Colosseum or the Theater of Marcellus, set within a page of Latin text titled Antiquitatum. The work originates from a 16th-century Latin edition of Serlio's architectural treatise, specifically Book III which focused on recording ancient Roman monuments.
