A 1594 Latin antiquarian history of Augsburg, written by the patrician scholar Marcus Welser with editorial work by Alexander Mair and printed in Venice, aimed at scholars interested in the city's Roman past. Its pages show engraved Roman inscriptions, funerary monuments, and coins set within dense letterpress text, giving designers examples of classical stone reliefs, plinths, and medallion portraits with laurel-wreathed profiles and legend lettering.
