- Notes:
- Suite of engravings of the second century Roman imperial triumphal arch, "Portus Aurea," constructed in Benevento, Italy, just outside Naples. Engraved by Teresa del P̀o sometime during the late 17th century. Originally sold as individual prints, the plates were purchased in 1739 and issued as a book by the Roman antiquarian Ficoronis. In addition to the 9 engravings by Po, a printed title leaf and a front elevation of the arch by Francesco Mazzoni were added.
