Imperatorum romanorum numismata ex aere, mediae et minimae formae: descripta & enarrata
Patin's 1671 Latin catalogue of Roman imperial bronze coins, printed at Strasbourg for scholars and collectors of numismatics. The pictures are small engraved roundels of obverse busts and reverse figures, with legends running around the rims in capitals. A designer might take the circular framing, the lettered borders, and the classical profile portraits as a model for seals, medallions, or badge layouts.
