Aquila Romana is a 1679 Venetian book by Giovanni Palazzi, with engraved portraits of Holy Roman emperors from Charlemagne to Leopold I, published at the author's expense for readers of Italian imperial history. The pictures are woodcut-style decorative initials and fragments, with interlaced foliage, scrolls, and strapwork framing letters, which a designer could borrow for ornamental capitals, borders, and historical frontispieces.
