A scholarly Latin edition of Suetonius' lives of the Caesars, edited by Johannes Georgius Graevius with notes by Torrentius, Casaubon and others, printed at Utrecht by Willem van de Water's successor Guilielmus à Poolsum in 1708 for classicists and antiquarians. The 251 engravings reproduce Roman coins: profile heads in laurel wreaths ringed by capital-letter legends, paired with reverses showing altars, clasped hands, standing figures and winged emblems, with metal marks AR and AE set between them; useful for roundel layouts, letter-spaced circular lettering and fine outline portrait profiles.
