This is an image of an old engraving that depicts a landscape with various elements. In the foreground, there is what appears to be an amphitheater or similar curved structure in ruins, with several figures standing and walking within it. Beyond the structure stretches a serene bay curving around a populated landscape with buildings and fortifications close to the shore. Several ships, including sailboats, are visible on the water, suggesting this is a navigable and possibly important historical port or harbor. In the background, a dramatic range of rugged mountains rises, enhancing the majestic feel of the scene. The image carries inscriptions at the bottom. On the left, it reads "Henric. Cauci. inuen." which likely indicates the artist who designed or conceived the illustration. In the center, "(Puteoli)" could be referring to the location depicted in the engraving, possibly the ancient city of Puteoli, known today as Pozzuoli in Italy. On the right, "Philipp. Galle excud." suggests the name of the engraver or publisher, Philips Galle, who produced the image. The roman numerals “21” at the bottom right corner outside the engraving could refer to the page number or position within a larger collection or book.
