Fastorvm anni Romani a Verrio Flacco ordinatorvm reliqviae: ex marmorearum tabularum fragmentis Praeneste nuper effossis collectae et illustratae

Verrius Flaccus, Marcus, Foggini, Pietro Francesco [Hrsg.] · 1779 · 13 pictures

A 1779 Latin antiquarian publication edited by Pietro Francesco Foggini, reconstructing the fragmentary Roman calendar of Verrius Flaccus from marble tablets found at Praeneste. Its pictures are engraved decorative borders and headers: oval medallions holding profile busts, seated figures and chariots, set among scrolling acanthus, garlands and urn-shaped ornaments, with a printed page heading. A designer could take classical cameo frames, symmetrical scroll borders and Roman lettering layouts from them.
