CAMPUS MARTIUS Marsfeld Rom

Fig. 66.5.
Map of the area, where R. Lanciani has documented the find of his porticus (cf. here Fig. 66.4). This map shows `the junction of the "Piazza della Rotonda" (the square in front of the Pantheon) with the "Via dei Pastini"´ - as Lanciani referred to the findspot of the here-so-called `Lanciani's porticus´ (cf. R. LANCIANI, NSc 1881, 270; 1883a, 15) - and, in addition to this, the "Via degli Orfani".
To illustrate Lanciani's explicit descriptions (NSc 1881, 270; BullCom 1883a, 15) of the precise location of his porticus, which he himself documented on a plan (cf. id. BullCom 1883a, Tav. I-II) and on his map (FUR, fol. 15; cf. for both here Fig. 66.4), we have ourselves created the map discussed here. This map shows `the junction of the "Piazza della Rotonda" (the square in front of the Pantheon) with the "Via dei Pastini"´ - as Lanciani (NSc 1881, 270) referred to the findspot of his porticus, and, in addition to this, the "Via degli Orfani". We used for this map the official OSM (Open Street Map), layers: buildings and streets. Our resulting map, with the letterings "Piazza della Rotonda", "Via dei Pastini" and "Via degli Orfani", shows that the `square in front of the Pantheon, called "Piazza della Rotonda"´ actually reaches as far north-east as to the junction of the two roads "Via degli Orfani" and "Via dei Pastini". This means that Lanciani, also with his note NSc 1879, 14 must have referred to his porticus. F.X. Schütz and C. Häuber "AIS ROMA", reconstruction 2023.
