De vrbis ac Romani olim imperii splendore : opus eruditionibus, historijs, ac animaduersionibus, tam sacris quam profanis illustratum : in quo etiam nonnulla ex occasione tanguntur, tam circa Romanae ecclesiae principatum, quam circa alias reliquarum orbis regionum res memoratu dignas
A 1650 Latin antiquarian study of ancient Rome, printed in Rome by Francesco Alberto Tani and written by Giovanni Battista Casali, aimed at scholars and churchmen interested in Roman history and the papacy. Its woodcut illustrations show classical Roman subjects such as a funeral procession with bearers and musicians, a jug or ewer, and a robed figure holding vessels, drawn in a plain outline style a designer could adapt for classical motifs.
