Alessandro Donati, a Jesuit, wrote this 1695 Amsterdam edition of Roma vetus ac recens, a scholarly guide to ancient and modern Rome for travellers and antiquarians. Its copper-engraved plates show Roman monuments such as the Arch of Titus, the Baths of Diocletian and the Baths of Nero, drawn as crisp architectural views with figures for scale, giving designers clear models of classical arches, colonnades, vaulting and ruined masonry.
