Vetus Latium profanum: De Antiatibus et Norbanis
Vetus Latium profanum, an 1726 antiquarian treatise by Giuseppe Rocco Volpi, printed in Italy to record ancient Latin sites, Roman ruins and monuments for scholars and antiquarians. The pictures are engraved plates of ruins and a ground plan, drawn in a clean linear manner with heavy shadow hatching, showing how stone arches, masonry walls and rocky terrain can be rendered in monochrome.
