Romanae et Graecae antiqvitatis monvmenta, e priscis nvmismatibvs
A 1644 numismatic folio published in Antwerp by the Plantin press under Balthasar Moretus, compiling Roman and Greek coins from earlier collections, with plates engraved after drawings associated with Hubertus Goltzius and Peter Paul Rubens. The plates show coin genealogies and inscriptions set out as rows of engraved medallion roundels linked by captioned tablets. A designer might take the strict grid of roundels, ruled frames and dense Latin lettering as a model for classical layout and typographic hierarchy.
