Romanae et Graecae antiquitatis monumenta, e priscis numismatibus eruta

Goltzius, Hubert, 1526-1583 · 1644 · Antuerpiae : Ex officina Plantiniana Balthasaris Moreti · 46 pictures

Romanae et Graecae antiquitatis monumenta is a 1644 numismatic catalogue by Hubert Goltzius, printed at Antwerp by the Plantin office, for scholars and collectors of ancient coins. Its pictures are engraved roman coin portraits of emperors, each shown as a large circular medallion in profile with its Latin legend around the rim and a numbered Latin inscription printed above and below. A designer might take from them the strong circular roundel framing, the bold lettering set around a profile, and the sculpted relief quality of the portraits.
