Thesavrvs selectorvm nvmismatvm antiqvorvm : quo, praeter imagines & seriem imperatorum Romanorum à C. IVL. Caesare ad Constantinvm Magnum usque, quicquid fere monumentorum ex Romana antiquitate in nummis veteribus restat, reconditum est : cum singulorum succincta descriptione & accurata enarratione
A 1677 Amsterdam numismatic catalogue by Jacques Oisel, issued by the Boom press, presenting engraved plates of ancient Roman coins for scholars and collectors of antiquities. The plates show numbered coin reverses with allegorical female figures, inscriptions in ring-bordered roundels, and small architectural and seated figures. A designer could take from them the compact circular medallion framing, the classical figure poses and the dense lettered borders typical of early modern engraving.
