The date 1749 appears on the first plate, and that of 1575 on the second.

The work describes Ostia and the neighbouring Portus, with the harbours constructed during the reigns of Claudius (41-54) and Trajan (98-117).

The first plate is a map of Ostia; the second, an imaginary view of the reconstructed harbour. The in-text illustration on page 5 reproduces two ancient Roman coins which show the harbour of Ostia.
