Remarks on several parts of Italy: Remarks on several parts of Italy
Remarks on several parts of Italy is a 1705 travel account by an English writer, held by Heidelberg University Library, that prints engraved drawings of ancient Roman coins with their inscriptions. The pictures are sharp black-and-white line engravings of coin reverses, showing figures such as a seated personification, a standing Victoria, and a she-wolf with twins, set in dotted rims with lettering around the edge. A designer could draw on their clean outline work, crisp circular framing, and classical lettering for emblems or monogram-style badges.
