Ex XIIII. T. Liuii decadibus.

Epitome singulorum librorum XIII decadum. Historia omnium XIIII decadum in compendium redacta ab L. Floro. Polybij lib. V de rebus Romanis Latinitate donati à Nicolao Perotto. Index copiosissimus rerum omnium memorabilium
A 1518 Venetian printed edition of Livy's history of Rome, issued by the Aldine press in Venice for scholars and readers of Latin. The page shows a printer's device, a dolphin wrapped around an anchor, above a printed line that reads AL DVS, with a red library stamp across the top right corner. A designer could draw on the compact, emblematic mark, where a sea creature and anchor stand for steadiness and speed in a single woodcut.
