A 1588 Venetian guidebook to ancient Rome, compiled by Bernardo Gamucci and Thomaso Porcacchi from earlier ancient and modern writers, aimed at travellers and readers curious about the city's remains. Its woodcut plates show Roman baths, the Arch of Septimius Severus and the Capitoline, drawn as plans, elevations and street views with labels in the margins, a useful model for architectural diagrams and for the layered line work of early print.
