Histoire des grands chemins de l'Empire Romain: contenant l'origine, progrès, & etendue quasi incroyable des chemins militaires, pavez depuis la ville de Rome jusques aux extrémitez de son empire ...
Bergier's 1736 French history of Roman military roads, published in Paris for antiquarians and architects, traces the paved highways that ran from Rome to the edges of its empire. The pictures are small decorative woodcut initials: ornate letters C and E framed by scrolling foliage, interlaced knotwork and leafy borders, which a designer could adapt for historical display type, borders or chapter openers.
