Vetera monumenta quae in hortis Caelimontanis et in aedibus Matthaeiorum adservantur : nunc primum in unum collecta et adnotationibus illustrata
Vetera monumenta is a 1776 Roman folio of classical antiquities by Ridolfino Venuti, published in Rome by Venantius Monaldinus and gathering sculptures from the Mattei family collection. The engraved plates show marble busts of named figures, a square pedestal with a relief, and carved funerary panels, each plate labelled with a figure number and table number. A designer could take from them the clean hatched shading and plain framing that 18th-century antiquarian engravers used to render stone.
