Reliqvae avgvstarvm imagines
Reliqvae avgvstarvm imagines is a 1600 Venice book of engraved Roman coin types by Enea Vico, printed for antiquarians and collectors of ancient medals. The pages show rows of circular medallion designs, mostly figures standing or seated with legends around the rim, set on plain rectangular plates with several empty roundels left blank. A designer might take from them the compact circular seal-like framing and the clean, hatched linework used for classical figures and lettering.
