Jacob Spon's account of his 1675–76 travels through Italy, Dalmatia, Greece and the Levant with George Wheler, printed at Lyon in 1678 for antiquarians and collectors of Greek and Latin inscriptions. Plates are gridded rows of engraved coin faces — emperors' profiles, standing deities, temples, a suckling wolf — each ringed by Greek lettering, useful as roundel motifs, medallion frames and lettered borders.
