This 1672 Roman folio of engravings by Pietro Santi Bartoli, published in Rome, reproduces the reliefs of Marcus Aurelius's column for antiquarians and artists studying Roman sculpture. The plates are long horizontal friezes of crowded battle scenes, marching soldiers, and processions in dense line engraving, with Latin captions below each panel, offering a designer compositional models for packed narrative registers, armoured figures, and classical crowd groupings.
