Suetonius's Lives of the Caesars, printed in Venice in 1506 by Giovanni Rubeo of Vercelli with the commentaries of Beroaldo and Sabellico, addressed to scholars and readers of Latin history. The pages pair dense roman-type text with small woodcut scenes of Roman emperors, courtiers, banquets, and violent episodes, showing early printed layout and the way text blocks sit around picture panels.
