Piranesi ci mostra, in questa come in altre due acqueforti, il riuso delle fondazioni del monumento e degli spazi circostanti, adibiti a case private, con stalle e rimessaggi per carri. L'imponente mole del tempio di Saturno (ritenuto erroneamente quello della Concordia) fungeva di fatto da terrazzamento del clivo Capitolino a monte, e da sponda al Vicus lugarius a valle. Al centro della veduta, addossato al podio del tempio, è disegnato da Piranesi fin nei minimi particolari un caseggiato a due piani con terrazzo e pergolato, abbellito da una serie di rante in vaso sui davanzali. Per mostrare tempio nella sua interezza, ancora una volta Piranesi gioca con le proporzioni dei monumenti, comprimendo sensibilmente le dimensioni dell'arco di Settimio Severo rispetto alla prospettiva reale.

English:
Piranesi shows us, in this as in two other etchings, how the foundations of monuments and their surrounding spaces were reused as private residences, equipped with stables and carriage houses. The imposing bulk of the Temple of Saturn (erroneously identified as the Temple of Concord) acted as a terrace to the Clivus Capitolinus on its uphill side and as a retaining wall abutting the Vicus lugarius on its downhill side. At the center of the print, Piranesi has drawn down to the smallest detail a two-story tenement built against the podium of the temple, complete with terrace, pergola and a series of potted plants to decorate its ledges. To show the temple in its entirety, Piranesi once again plays with the monuments' proportions, compressing the Arch of Septimius Severus considerably compared to its actual perspective.
