Engraved Frontispiece, title leaf printed in red & black with intaglio vignette, one additional full-page engraved plate [41] pp preliminaries, + 668 pp + [134] pp Index at rear; numerous coins and medals engraved intaglio within text, reproducing the portraits of the main characters in the history of Rome. Magnificent printing with diverse fonts to differentiate the texts and notes. Original binding of the period in full vellum with ornate centerpiece in blind on front and rear panels. Vellum darkened; corners knocked a bit, front hinge slightly split alone outer edge and with some signs of old repair but holding very tightly (the cords intact, the split is cosmetic); ink name dated 1852 at head of title and another in pencil on the front endpaper, dated 1880.

The commentaries are by the most illustrious philologists and historians headed by the editor Jan Arntzenius (1702-1759), Johannes Metellus (1520-1597), Andreas Shottus (1579), Fredericus Sylburgius (1536-1596) and Anna Fabri (1645-1727). ).…
