Under the direction of Prof. d'Espouy, the graduates of the famous Paris school of art, the Ecole des Beaux-Arts, measured, rendered and shaded the views of the famous monuments of ancient Greece and Rome. These drawing were then reproduced by a 19th C. process called heliography. Machine translation of the original French narrative: From the famous Temple of Concord, founded by Camille in memory of the reconciliation of patricians and plebeians, and rebuilt by Tiberius, only vestiges of the cella remain adorned with antique yellow and African marble. We recognize it only the location at the bottom of the Capitol, between the prison Mamertine and the Temple of Vespasian. It is likely that the primitive building was destroyed during the fire which devoured, the time of Sulla, part of the monuments of this region. It had to be rebuilt quickly and without much luxury. At beginning of the imperial era, it probably seemed too modest next to the sumptuous buildings that had just been high. Also, the year of Rome 747 (7 BC), Tiberius, during his consulship with Piso, he resolved to rebuild the temple of Concord. The work lasted a long time, and the dedication did not take place until the year 763 (9 AD). This sanctuary, whose facade looked at the Forum, was of great beauty, as well as the fragments of the entablature preserved in the Tabularium and column bases of remarkable work placed in the Capitoline Museum.
