Nymphaeum of Alexander Severus, Monumental fountain in Regio V Esquiliae, Italy
The large stone structure features multiple water basins connected through a system of cascades between Via Tiburtina and Via Labicana in Rome.
Emperor Alexander Severus commissioned the construction of this monumental fountain during his reign from 222 to 235 AD in ancient Rome.
The structure incorporates elements dedicated to nymphs, water deities from Roman mythology, through decorative sculptures and architectural designs.
