"The Colosseum in Rome 1564" is an engraving by Antonio Lafreri, an influential French publisher, engraver, and cartographer active in Rome during the 16th century. Lafreri, born Antoine du Pérac Lafréry, is renowned for his work in the field of cartography and for producing a compilation of engravings known as the "Speculum Romanae Magnificentiae," which offered a visual documentation of the antiquities and architecture of Rome.

This particular engraving depicts the Roman Colosseum, officially known as the Flavian Amphitheatre, which was an iconic symbol of Imperial Rome and remains one of the most recognizable landmarks of the city. Completed in AD 80, the Colosseum was the largest amphitheater ever built at the time and hosted a variety of public spectacles, including gladiatorial contests, animal hunts, and mock sea battles.

Lafreri's 1564 engraving is significant as it provides a detailed representation of the Colosseum during the Renaissance, a period that saw a renewed interest in the classical past and the beginnings of archaeological study. The artwork not only serves as a historical record of the state of the Colosseum in the 16th century but also reflects the contemporary appreciation for ancient Roman architecture and the humanist values of the time.

The engraving is characterized by its meticulous attention to detail and accuracy, which was typical of Lafreri's work. It would have been used as a source of information and inspiration for artists, architects, scholars, and patrons interested in the grandeur of Rome's architectural heritage. Today, "The Colosseum in Rome 1564" is considered an important artifact for the study of Renaissance art and the reception of classical antiquity, as well as a valuable piece of visual evidence for the history of one of the world's most famous ancient monuments.
