Admiranda Romanarum antiquitatum ac veteris sculpturae vestigia : anaglyphico opere elaborata ex marmoreis exemplaribus quae Romae adhuc extant in Capitolio, aedibus hortisque virorum principum ad antiquam elegantiam
This 1693 Roman folio of engraved plates, issued in Rome by Joannes Jacobus de Rubeis and edited by Pietro Santi Bartoli and Giovanni Pietro Bellori, reproduces ancient Roman marble reliefs still standing in the Capitol and noble Roman palaces and gardens for collectors and antiquarians. Each plate is a long horizontal frieze of densely packed figures framed in a rectangle with a Latin caption below, so a designer can borrow the processional rhythm, draped figures, and strip-like compositions for panels, borders, or running ornament.
