Regvm romanorvm vna cvm qvorvndam eorvm vxorū qvantvm ex antiqvis numismatis marmoribusque colligere licuit exactissima effigierum delineatio
A 1550 series of engraved portrait roundels of Roman emperors and empresses, compiled from ancient coins and marble busts by Frans Huys, Hans Vredeman de Vries and Martin Rota, with Marcantonio Raimondi credited, and aimed at artists and antiquarians. The pictures show profile heads inside circular inscribed borders, with laurel wreaths, curled hair and draped busts rendered in fine hatched line, a model for designers seeking classical medallion framing and lettering.
