Imagines et elogia virorum illustrium et eruditor ex antiquis lapidibus et nomismatib.
A 1570 Roman book of engraved portraits of famous Greek and Roman figures, compiled by the scholar Fulvio Orsini and published by Antonio Lafreri, drawing on ancient busts, statues, coins and inscribed stone tablets for scholars and collectors of antiquities. The plates pair each figure with its carved Greek name block or coin medallion in a plain engraved style, showing how classical sculpture and lettering were recorded, useful for designers wanting neoclassical stone plinths, tablet lettering, and medallion frames.
