Ivsti LipsI de vesta et vestalibvs syntagma
A 1609 Latin treatise on the Roman goddess Vesta and her priestesses, the Vestal Virgins, written by Justus Lipsius and published in Antwerp by the Plantin press. Its pictures are engraved coin-like roundels showing temples, sacred objects and seated or standing Vestal figures, with labels in Roman capitals that a designer could reuse for classical emblems, borders or inscription panels.
