A 1779 Roman publication by Dominique Magnan, printed in Rome for a general audience of collectors and antiquarians, reproducing the reliefs of the Column of Marcus Aurelius in engraved plates. Each page stacks two framed engravings of carved narrative scenes with Latin captions beneath, showing armoured legionaries, cavalry charges, river crossings, and rows of shields in tightly packed crowds. A designer could take the dense, orderly military compositions and the stepped framing of paired panels as a model for layout and crowd arrangement.
