Le rappresentanze figurate delle provincie romane

Jatta, Michele · 1908 · Roma, E. Loescher & ćʻ. (W. Regenberg) · 8 pictures

A 1908 Roman plate book by Michele Jatta, published in Rome by E. Loescher, cataloguing figured representations on Roman provincial coins for scholars of Roman art and numismatics. The plates are numbered grids of small coin photographs, each numbered beneath, with obverse and reverse figures of standing deities, seated women, and emperors shown in clean halftone against pale paper. A designer could draw on the compact repeating grid layout and the classical figure poses, which read clearly even at small scale.
