Ristretto delle grandezze di Roma is a 1637 Italian guide to Rome's monuments and sacred sites, printed in Rome by Vitale Mascardi and written by Pompilio Totti. The four pictures are round seals from the city's rioni, the historic districts, each with a ring of lettering around a central emblem. A designer could take from them the look of compact circular emblems, with ring text curving around a single woodcut motif.
