Iusti LipsI De militia romana libri quinque : commentarius ad Polybium
A 1602 Latin commentary by Justus Lipsius on Polybius's account of the Roman army, printed at Antwerp by the Plantin press under Jan Moretus for scholars and military readers. Its pictures are small woodcut decorations: a scroll with winged serpent-like ornaments, a cartouche with figures and a banner lettered in Latin, a large decorated initial D, and a Q enclosing a seated winged figure flanked by two armed men, all showing dense black line-work on cream paper that a designer could borrow for framing, initials, or banners.
