Romanarum antiquitatum libri decem : ex variis scriptoribus summa fide singularique diligentia collecti
Johannes Rosinus's Romanarum antiquitatum libri decem, printed at Lyons in 1609 for a scholarly readership, is an antiquarian survey of ancient Roman customs, religion and institutions. Its woodcuts render coins and medallions as framed circular roundels with figures, inscriptions and monuments, offering a designer a dense vocabulary of classical emblems, lettering and roundel borders.
