Illvstrivm imagines, ex antiquis marmoribus, nomismatibus, et gemmis expressae: quæ exstant Romæ, maior pars apud Fulvium Vrsinvm : editio altera, aliquot imaginibus, et I. Fabri ad singulas commentario, auctior atque illustrior
A 1598 Antwerp edition of a classical portrait compendium by Théodore Galle, Johann Faber and Fulvio Orsini, printed at the Plantin press for scholars and collectors of antiquities. Its engraved profile heads of Roman and Greek figures, set in medallion and oval frames against stippled grounds, show how antique marble, coin and gem likenesses were rendered as formal portrait roundels that a designer could borrow for classical emblems, cameos or period title pages.
