Temple du Dieu ridicule, a trois milles hors de Rome entre la Voie Latine et la Voie Appia, elevé par les Romains en derision du depart d'Annibal, from Les Plus Beaux Monuments de Rome Ancienne ou Recueil des plus beaux Morceaux de l'Antiquité Romaine qui existent encore
Plate 15, Temple Rediculum or Tomb of Annia Regilla, between the Appian Way and the Via Latina outside of Rome. Livestock and a lute player are visible in the foreground. Below this plate is a second plate with the Nympheum of Egeria. While the bottom plate is unnumbered, this is one of only a few examples in the volume where the two half-page images on a sheet both depict Roman monuments. These two images appear facing page 21, which includes text describing both the Temple of Rediculum and the Fountain of Nymph Egeria.
