The size of the cork model of the ancient architectural structure is 43 cm in height, 136 cm in width and 169 cm in length.

This unusual model was part of a collection of cork models of historical buildings of antiquity made by Duburg and exhibited in London in the late 18th and early 19th centuries. The exhibition was designed to educate and entertain a diverse audience.

Duburg also produced theatrical scenery, including special lighting to create drama and movement in his models of the Tiburtina sibyl temple, the Cascade in Tivoli and the eruption of the operating model of Vesuvius. 

Dyubur closed his museum and sold the models at auction in 1819. An unusually beautiful and very large model of the Amphitheater in Rome was also sold at auction in London in 1826.

The collection of architectural models was transferred to the Museum of Science in 1909, when he separated from the Victoria and Albert Museum. If earlier these models were used as teaching aids for students, at the end of the 19th century the interest to the architectural models began to decline and none of the new museums wanted to perform them on the exposition. Some of the models were transferred to regional museums, some were simply destroyed.
