A 1747 Latin scholarly work by Giovanni Giustino Ciampini, published in Rome by Carlo Giannini, offering a historical survey of sacred buildings erected under Constantine the Great for an antiquarian and scholarly readership. The plates show measured architectural drawings: elevations, sections and ornamental friezes, with some ruled construction lines. A designer might draw on their precise ornament bands, arcaded facades and classical column and capital details as sources for historical motifs.
