This image is a black and white print depicting the Theatre of Marcellus (Teatro di Marcello) in Rome. The etching, likely from the 18th or 19th century based on its style, shows a detailed representation of the exterior of the theater which has layers of arches typical of ancient Roman architecture. Several tiers of the building are visible, with the upper parts appearing to have been repurposed into residential accommodation, as suggested by the windows and façades incongruent with the original structure.

In the foreground, the daily life of what seems to be the 18th-century Roman street unfolds, with people engaging in various activities, animals, carriages, and street vendors. The activity includes several groups of figures—both standing and walking—as well as horses and carriages suggesting some hustle and bustle at the marketplace. Buildings of various sizes and architectural styles surround the expansive plaza, among them what appears to be a church with a dome on the right side. The sky is filled with clouds, adding to the dramatic effect of the scene.

The lower part of the image includes some inscriptions. Such inscriptions typically cite the title of the artwork, possibly reference the artist, engraver, or publisher, and sometimes the location depicted. Without the ability to clearly read the text, that information remains indeterminate.
