Antonii Avgvstini Archiepisc. Tarracon. Antiqvitatvm Romanarvm Hispanarvmqve In Nvmmis Vetervm Dialogi XI
A 1617 Latin numismatic treatise by Antonio Agustín, archbishop of Tarragona, edited by Andreas Schott and Jacques de Bie, on Roman and Spanish coins for scholars of antiquity. The four pages show rows of engraved coin reverses, each in a circular frame with a figure, altar, temple, animal or inscription. A designer could draw on their tidy roundel layouts, repeated classical figures and small emblematic motifs for seals, medallions or heraldic borders.
