Ivsti Lipsi[i] De Amphitheatris Qvae Extra Romam Libellvs: In quo Formae eorum aliquot & typi

Lipsius, Justus · 1584 · 8 pictures

Justus Lipsius's 1584 Latin treatise on Roman amphitheatres outside Rome, printed for scholars and architects studying ancient buildings. The four engravings show plans, sectional views, and an exterior elevation of an arched amphitheatre wall with ruled hatching and printed labels. A designer might take the dense parallel-line shading and the clean architectural diagram layouts as models for technical drawing.
