Antiqvae Vrbis Splendor is a 1612 Latin folio of engraved views of ancient Roman temples, amphitheatres, theatres, circuses, triumphal arches and tombs, made by the Roman engraver Giacomo Lauro for scholars and antiquarians. The engravings are plates with architectural elevations and bird's-eye reconstructions, often with a Latin caption and a dense text block below, offering a designer rigorous classical façades, colonnades, domes and street layouts to adapt for historical or architectural graphics.
