Deorvm dearvmqve capita : ex vetustis numismatibus in gratiam antiquitatis studiosorum effigiata et edita : ex museo Abrahami Ortelii
A 1582 Antwerp book of engraved plates of ancient Roman coin heads of gods and goddesses, assembled by the cartographer Abraham Ortelius and printed by Philippe Galle for antiquarian scholars. Each plate frames a profile medallion in an ornate strapwork border with a Latin caption, showing a dense, symmetrical Renaissance decorative system a designer could adapt for cartouches, label frames, and classical heading ornament.
