The 40 double-page plates are tipped onto stubs at centerfold. They have descriptive text on rectos of left-hand leaves and a few right-hand versos. Plates were etched by Giovanni Battista Pittoni and had been previously published by him with title: Praecipua aliquot Romanae antiquitatis ruinarum monimenta (Venice, 1561). Most plates are signed by Pittoni, and many are dated 1581 (altered from 1561). Plate 8 is not signed at all, and differs from the rest in that it is engraved, not etched. Dedication signed by Girolamo Porro and dated Nov. 20, 1581. Head- and tail-pieces; initials. Signature: ✝² B⁶. Includes index.
