Because of their related subject matter, copies of this work are often found bound together with Piranesi's Antichità d'Albano e di Castel Gandolfo (1764) and Di due spelonche ornate dagli antichi alla riva del Lago Albano (1762) and were probably issued both separately and together. See RIBA nos. 2547, 2553, and 2554.

Engraved initial and tail-piece.

Eight of the numbered leaves of plates are on double leaves (each counted as 2 in the adjusted count of leaves of plates).
