A Latin antiquarian treatise by Stefano Borgia on the Vatican cross given by Emperor Justin I, printed in Rome in 1779 by the Propaganda Fide press for clergy and scholars of Christian antiquities. Engraved plates record Byzantine crosses, pectoral reliquaries and medallions with repoussé figures, Greek inscriptions, vine scrolls and hanging bells—useful for ornament, lettering and religious emblem work.
