Elementi di architettura militare is an 1780 Neapolitan military engineering textbook by Giuseppe Parisi, printed in Naples by Giuseppe Campo for the cadets of the Royal Ferdinand Battalion academy. Its plates show fortress ground plans with bastions, star-shaped outlines, lettered keys, and siege trench lines, while the title vignette shows two wrestlers beside a chariot team before an arcade, a classical scene a designer could borrow for ornamental framing.
