Libri qvattro dell'antichita della citta di Roma is a 1565 Venetian guidebook to ancient Rome by Bernardo Gamucci, printed by Gio. Varisco and Compagni for readers interested in the city's antiquities. Its woodcuts show reconstructed monuments such as a tower with a stone block wall and Corinthian capitals, a piazza with an equestrian statue beside an arcaded palace, and triumphal arches with sculpted niches and passing figures, giving designers clear examples of classical architectural form, ornament and urban layout.
