Le antichità della citta di Roma, raccolte sotto brevita da diuersi antichi & moderni scrittori,

Gamucci, Bernardo · 1580 · [In Vinegia, Appresso Giouanni Varisco & compagni] · 20 pictures

A 1580 Venetian guidebook to the antiquities of Rome, compiled by Bernardo Gamucci from ancient and modern writers for travellers and students. Its woodcut views of ruined arches, forums and monuments are printed sideways on the page with Italian captions in large capitals, so they read best rotated and show how Renaissance printers drew architecture as plain, measured elevations.
