Can you spot the differences (in what is delineated) between the two following images of Piranesi's Ichnograpia Campus Martius? The first is the Ichnographia in its first printed state and the second is the second printed state (which is how the Ichnographia is most often reproduced in publications). Hint: Piranesi replaced some of his plan designs with plans derived from the [blank] of Maxentius.

The delineated differences are visible here, and they are distinct changes in some of the plans.
The compass points are pointing in the correct directions, with T pointing north. (I'd have to double check on this info, but I recall that) The initials of the compass points are abbreviations of Latin words that stand for the names of the predominate winds, eg, the north wind begins with the letter T, etc.
