Romanae et Graecae antiquitatis monumenta, e priscis numismatibus eruta

Goltzius, Hubert, 1526-1583 · 1644 · Antuerpiae : Ex officina Plantiniana Balthasaris Moreti · 34 pictures

A 1644 Antwerp folio of ancient Roman and Greek coins, engraved and printed at the Plantin press by Hubert Goltzius (1526-1583), intended for antiquarians and scholars of numismatics. Its pages are framed plates of coin obverses and reverses arranged in ruled grids with Greek and Latin captions on banners, so a designer can draw on their tidy, repeated medallion layouts, laurel-profile heads, and small emblematic reverse figures.
