Numi Aegyptii imperatorii prostantes in museo Borgiano Velitris: adiectis praeterea quotquot reliqua huius classis numismata ex variis museis atque libris colligere obtigit

Zoega, Georg · 1787 · 9 pictures

Zoega's 1787 Latin catalogue of Roman provincial and Egyptian-imperial coins from the Borgia collection at Velletri, compiled for scholars and collectors of numismatics. The plates are engraved views of coin obverses and reverses, with inscriptions and legends set around the rims. A designer could draw on their dense circular medallion compositions, neat radial lettering, and the small repeated figures of gods, animals, and temple facades.
