Numismata imperatorum romanorum praestantiora a Julio Caesare ad Postumum et tyrannos
Numismata imperatorum romanorum praestantiora is a 1694 Paris numismatic catalogue compiled by Jean Foy-Vaillant and Adriaan Schoonebeek, printed by Jean Jombert, for scholars and collectors of Roman coins. Its pictures are engraved line drawings of paired obverse and reverse coin faces, with laureate or diademed emperor profiles on one side and seated or standing allegorical figures such as Roma, Pax, and Aeternitas on the other, rendered in crisp outline with lettering around the rims that a designer could borrow for classical medallion frames and inscriptional typography.
