A 1553 Lyon numismatic book by Jacobus Strada and Jean Louveau, printed by Jacques de Strada and Thomas Guerin, presenting woodcut portraits of Roman and Byzantine emperors modelled on their coins for antiquarian readers. The pictures show profile busts inside black-ringed medallions with lettering around the rim, a bold graphic device a designer could adapt for coin-style emblems, seals, or heraldic frames.
