Discovery of the existence of two different versions of Piranesi's 'Pianta dell antico Foro Romano' within Le Antichità Romane Vol. 1 occurred around twenty past eight on the evening of 27 December 2019.

This is the second time a heretofore unknown second state printing of a Giovanni Battista Piranesi work has been declared by Quondam. That the changes made to the Circus Maximus within the Pianta dell antico Foro Romano are virtually identical to the changes made to all the circuses within the two Ichnographia Campus Martius is obviously not mere coincidence. No doubt speculation and investigation now commences. Indeed, there is already circumstantial evidence pointing to Francesco Piranesi's possible involvement.
