Ara Martis within the Ichnographia Campus Martius, first state.


Ara Martis within the Ichnographia Campus Martius, second state.


The two printed versions of the Ichnographia Campus Martius are clearly discernable when looking at the Circus Agonalis sive Alexandri attached to the circular porticus surronding the Altar of Mars. The somewhat stylized reconstruction of the Circus Agonalis sive Alexandri of the first state changed into a smaller version of the Circus of Maxentius in the second state. This change of the circus plan from stylized reconstruction in the first state to smaller version of the Circus of Maxentius in the second state happens to all the circuses deliniated within the Ichnographia Campus Martius.
