Calcografia di Roma, ovvero, Le piante, vendute, piazze, chiese, palazzi, bassirilievi, statue ed altri monumenti antichi e moderni di questra superba citta' : incisi in rame e divisi in vari volumi
An 18th-century Roman engraved folio of antiquities, published in Rome in 1779 by Giovanni Battista Cannetti and engraved by Serafino Giovannini and Domenico Porti for collectors and students of classical monuments. The plates reproduce reliefs of Marcus Aurelius's campaign against the Quadi, showing dense ranks of armoured Roman soldiers, horsemen, sacrifice scenes and divine figures in shallow, crowded compositions that suggest frieze layouts and processional arrangement for historical narrative graphics.
