Collection of the Roman inscriptions and sculptures discovered in Britain. III. The Roman geography of Britain, in which are given the originals of Ptolemy, Antonini Itinerarium, the Notitia, the anonymous Ravennas and Peutinger's table, so far as they relate to this island.

John Horsley's Britannia Romana, printed in London in 1732 for antiquaries and classical scholars, catalogues Roman inscriptions, altars and sculptures found in Britain alongside histories of the Roman walls and reconstructions of ancient geography. The engravings are outline drawings of altars, tombstones and inscribed slabs, numbered in Roman numerals, with lettered faces, moulded bases, pediments and rosettes rendered in thin unshaded line, useful for Roman capital letterforms, stone profiles and diagram-style architectural fragments.
