Abstract
Three drawings of ancient monuments from Pula are deposited in the Venetian Republic Archives in Venice; two drawings depicting the amphitheatre and one depicting the Temple of Roma and Augustus, hitherto unknown to the local scientific public. The drawings were made by the Venetian Republic engineer Giovanni Leonardo Gaettini in 1783. They are among the most beautiful drawings in the overall opus of Venetian engineers in the 18th century, not only for the motifs, but for the craft and the dedication the engineer Gaettini invested in their making.
