Rome from the Janiculum: a painting of ancient Rome at sunset seen from the Janiculum Hill, with the Tiber, bridges, walls and the Colosseum
Rome from the Janiculumc. AD 300
The Janiculum, Rome · c. AD 300

The Whole City at Evening

The Janiculum is the long ridge on the west bank of the Tiber, higher than any of Rome's seven hills. By tradition its name comes from the god Janus. Livy says King Ancus Marcius fortified it and joined it to the city with the Pons Sublicius, the first bridge over the Tiber. In the Republic it served as a lookout: Cassius Dio says that while the people met in assembly on the Campus Martius, a flag flew on the Janiculum, and if it was lowered, as a sign of danger, the assembly broke up.

By around AD 300 the city seen from here had reached its fullest extent. The emperor Aurelian had ringed it with new walls in the AD 270s, about 19 kilometers long, running in places along the riverbank. Inside them stood the monuments of three centuries of emperors: the Flavian Amphitheater, now called the Colosseum, Hadrian's Pantheon, the Circus Maximus, and the Temple of Jupiter on the Capitoline Hill.

The Janiculum, the Gianicolo in modern Italian, is still one of the best places to look out over Rome, from the terraces above Trastevere.

The piece

The painting looks out from a garden terrace on the hill as the sun goes down. Umbrella pines and cypresses frame the left side, and a stone parapet with an urn leads the eye down to the river. From there the view opens across bridges, walls and towers to the Colosseum at the center, the gilded temple on its hill, and the blue line of mountains on the horizon.

Which size?

Sizes are the artwork's. Frames and hangers add a little around the edge.

Above a sofa or bed, art looks best at about two-thirds of the furniture's width, hung 8 to 10 inches above it.
