Le Antichità Della Citta Di Roma : Raccolte Sotto Brevità da diuersi antichi & moderni Scrittori
Le Antichità della Città di Roma is a 1580 Venetian guidebook to ancient Rome, compiled by Bernardo Gamucci, Thomaso Porcacchi and Benedetto Varchi and printed by Giovanni Varisco and partners for Italian-reading travellers and antiquarians. Its pages carry rotated woodcut views of Roman monuments such as the Theatre of Marcellus, the Arch of Constantine, the Arch of Janus and the Baths of Paulus Aemilius, with running captions set in the vertical margin; a designer could draw on their crisp hatched line, architectural arcades and strong page layouts.
