Veterum Romanorum Religio castrametatio, disciplina militaris ut & balneae ex antiquis numismatibus & lapidibus demonstrata

Du Choul, Guillaume, 16th cent · 1686 · Amstelaedami : Apud Janssonio-Waesbergios · 495 pictures

A 1686 Amsterdam edition of Guillaume Du Choul's study of Roman religion, camp-building, military discipline and baths, illustrated with engraved reproductions of ancient coins and stones for an antiquarian readership. The pictures are small engraved roundels showing Roman coin types: standing figures with attributes such as a cornucopia, shield, spear, helmet and altar, with inscriptions around the rim. A designer could draw on their circular framing, dotted borders and compact emblem-like figure compositions.
