Dissertatio Inavguralis De Rostris Fori Romani Loco Concionibvs Solenni
An 1745 Latin academic dissertation on the Rostra, the speaker's platform of the Roman Forum, by Christian Gottlieb Schwarz with Christoph Karl Fabricius, held by Heidelberg University Library. The pictures are engraved plates: one is a dense band of scrolled foliage, tassels and volutes, and the other is a grid of Roman coins showing portrait busts, ships, and altars, with inscriptions in ring borders that a designer could borrow for classical ornament and medallion layouts.
