Supplement Au Livre De L'Antiquité Expliquée Et Representée En Figures: Les dieux des Grecs & des Romains
A supplement to Bernard de Montfaucon's antiquarian survey of Greek and Roman religion, published in 1724 in France and held by Heidelberg University Library. Its engraved plates show classical statues, coins, reliefs and inscriptions of the gods, arranged on framed pages for scholars and collectors. A designer might take the orderly plate layouts, numbered medallion roundels and classical figure poses as a reference for ancient and neoclassical motifs.
