''Le Antichità Romane'' (''The Roman Antiquities'') is a seminal work by Giovanni Battista Piranesi, an Italian artist famous for his etchings of Rome and its ancient ruins. Published in 1756 in Rome by the Stamperia di Angelo Rotili, this extensive collection of etchings is one of Piranesi's most significant contributions to the field of archaeology, art, and the documentation of Roman architecture. The work comprises four volumes that meticulously illustrate the remnants of Roman engineering, monuments, and buildings, capturing the grandeur and decay of the ancient city.

Piranesi, who was both an artist and an archaeologist, combined his artistic skill with his archaeological insights to produce ''Le Antichità Romane''. His work was not only an artistic endeavor but also an intellectual one, aiming to preserve the knowledge of Rome's architectural heritage. The etchings in ''Le Antichità Romane'' are characterized by their attention to detail, dramatic use of light and shadow, and the inclusion of human figures to provide a sense of scale and to convey the ruins' monumental nature.

The publication of ''Le Antichità Romane'' had a profound impact on the European understanding of Roman architecture and antiquities. It influenced the field of archaeology, which was in its infancy at the time, and contributed to the development of the neoclassical aesthetic that became prevalent in the late 18th and early 19th centuries. Piranesi's work also played a role in shaping the Grand Tour, the traditional trip through Europe undertaken by mainly upper-class European young men of means, as his etchings became a visual guidebook for those who wished to see the ancient sites of Rome.

''Le Antichità Romane'' remains a valuable historical record and a masterpiece of etching, reflecting Piranesi's passion for the grandeur of Rome's past and his dedication to the accurate representation of its architectural wonders. The work continues to be studied and admired for its artistic excellence and its contribution to the preservation of Roman history.
