Epitome Thesavri Antiqvitatvm, hoc est, Impp. Rom. Orientalium & Occidentalium Iconum, ex antiquis Numismatibus quàm fidelißimè deliniatarum
A 1553 Latin epitome by Jacobus Strada, printed in Zurich, presenting woodcut portraits of Roman emperors and empresses copied from ancient coins for scholars and collectors of antiquities. The four pictures are coin-style medallions in black-and-white woodcut: each shows a profile bust of a Roman woman or man inside a dark ring with lettering around the edge, a format a designer could borrow for emblem or seal layouts.
