1905 Halftone Print Tarpeian Rock Rome Italy Cliff Capitoline Hill Forum XGKA6

This is an original 1905 black and white halftone print of the Tarpeian Rock located on the edge of the Capitoline Hill in Rome, Italy. In Roman times, the cliff was used as an execution site for murders, traitors, slaves, and the physically or mentally handicapped. Considering the cliff is 25 m tall, gravity did most of the work in this truly gruesome form of "capitol punishment".
