NOTES: Part of the Burlington Devonshire Collection, this drawing (copied by Isaac Ware from Palladio's conjectural reconstruction of the 1540s) was prepared for 'Fabbriche Antiche disegnate da Andrea Palladio Vicentino, e date in luce da Ricardo Conte di Burlington', (London, 1730), for Lord Burlington. The baths of Nero, built between 60 and 64 AD, were the second of the Imperial public baths in Rome. They were rebuilt in 227 by Alexander Severus and became known as the Thermae Alexandrinae.
