Familiae Romanae in antiqvis nvmismatibvs , ab vrbe condita ad tempora divi Avgvsti
Familiae Romanae is a 1663 numismatic reference by Fulvio Orsini, edited by Antonio Agustín and Charles Patin, cataloguing ancient Roman coins by family from the founding of Rome to the time of Augustus, for scholars and collectors. Its plates are rows of engraved coin obverses and reverses set in ruled grids, with portrait busts, gods, temples, and legends in Latin lettering, which a designer could use for classical medallion borders, seal-like roundels, or archival typography.
