Original title is etched on the lower right margin: "Veduta del Ponte Lugano su l'Anione nella via Tiburtina risarcito ne' tempi bassi A Sepolcro della famiglia Plauzia" (The Ponte Lucano, with the Tomb of the Plautii) According to Hind, this is the plate number 68 and this is the first state on IV.
