From the Minneapolis Institute of Art record

Piranesi added this plate and plate V to the series in 1761, when he was reworking the original fourteen plates. The two new plates reflect his increasing familiarity with the art of Roman antiquity, which played a much more prominent role in these new images. Here, amid a profusion of sculptural reliefs, he makes the torture of a prisoner absolutely explicit. Italy, Europe
