There's an illustrated article about these panels in Imago Mundi:

The panels are located on the Via dell' Impero.
I have some photographs of them somewhere.

I have a faculty member asking me about this particular set of maps she
saw at an art installation. Does anybody know where I could find these
set of Roman Maps?
/In fall of 1989 I was visiting Rome and there was an art installation
depicting the rise and fall of the Roman Empire. The first panel showed
a map of Europe at the height of the Empire, along with the date, and
the Empire was shaded in in white. The next panel was how-ever-many
years later, with a smaller white area. There were four or five panels
total, with the last one of course showing Rome as just the dot on the
map that it is today. I thought it was a powerful piece, but for some
reason did not photograph it. (!) I've always wanted to find a photo,
poster, or other representation of the piece. Any ideas as to where I
might find such a thing? Or perhaps an historical GIS of Rome/Italy?/
