Jacobi Lydii Syntagma Sacrum De Re Militari: Nec Non De Jure Jurando Dissertatio Philologica: Opus Postumum, & multa eruditone commendatum cum figuris aeneis ... notisque Illustravit. Salomon Van Til Theologus Dordracenus
A 1698 Latin scholarly treatise on Roman military matters and oaths, edited by Salomon van Til and issued with engraved plates for an audience of classical scholars and antiquarians, held by Heidelberg University Library. The pictures are a mix of an engraved procession of armoured Roman soldiers carrying standards and eagles beneath a relief-style frieze, and repeated woodcut ornamental panels of stylised flowers, scrolls and a central vase motif, useful for historical costume and decorative border reference.
