Bruttia Numismatica Seu Bruttiae, hodiè Calabriae, Populorum Numismata Omnia, In variis per Europam nummophylaciis accuratè descripta, Nec Non Aliqua Alia Ex Jam Editis Deprompta
Magnan's 1773 numismatic catalogue of coins from Bruttium, the ancient region later called Calabria, compiled from collections across Europe for scholars and collectors. The plates are pages of engraved coin obverses and reverses arranged in framed grids with numbered captions, with heads in profile, standing figures, animals and inscriptions drawn in fine line on a plain page. A designer could take the strict grid layouts, circular medallion framing and classical profile heads as a model for a formal, orderly catalogue or badge system.
