I Cesari in oro, raccolti nel Farnese Museo e pubblicati colle loro congrue interpretazioni : tomo primo[-decimo]

Pedrusi, Paolo, 1644-1720, author · 1694 · In Parma : Nella stampa di S.A.S. · 45 pictures

Paolo Pedrusi's 1694 Parma volume records gold Roman imperial coins from the Farnese Museum collection, each with a learned interpretation, printed as a series of engraved plates. The pages are dense grids of paired medallion portraits and reverse scenes, each numbered and captioned in Latin with a small ornamental title. A designer could take from them a tidy modular layout of round medallions in ordered rows, with classical figures, temples and altars rendered in fine line engraving.
