Nummi Antiqui Familiarum Romanarum Perpetuis Interpretationibus Illustrati
Nummi Antiqui Familiarum Romanarum is a 1703 numismatic work by Jean Foy-Vaillant, edited by George Gallet, printed in Amsterdam for scholars and collectors of ancient Roman coins. The first picture is a crowded engraved scene of a tented camp with robed figures gathered at a long table, while the second is an oval emblem of cherubs handling and hanging coins, bordered by cornucopias and the printed city name. A designer might take the dense crosshatched engraving for historical texture and the oval cartouche with cherubs as a model for decorative coin motifs.
