Friese du Temple de Pallas, from Les Plus Beaux Monuments de Rome Ancienne ou Recueil des plus beaux Morceaux de l'Antiquité Romaine qui existent encore
Unnumbered plate after the frieze of the Temple of Pallas (more accurately the Temple of Minerva) in the Forum of Nerva. One of four engravings by Freicenet in this volume, the image shows Minerva seated on a rock at center and surrounded by five other female figures. It appears below plate 13, which shows the so-called Temple of Minerva Medica, and across from page 18, the first of two pages of text describing the Temple of Minerva Medica. The Temple of Pallas or Minerva, on which the depicted frieze appears, is the subject of plate 12.
