Duces et principes totius Italiae

Forbes and Clark Collections Visualizing Maritime History Project

Uncolored engraving depicting six medals or seals, with caption text in Latin. Bottom left seal or medal shows a chimera with a sea serpent's tail, a horse's foreparts, and a bull's head atop a sea, with a rock in the background, with the motto "Sic Quiesco" (So rest I). A pencilled inscription on the lower margin draws notice to this image, claiming it to represent a seal (the animal) : "No. 5. Phoca marinus".
Page 103 of the book "Symbola varia Diversorum Principum Sacrossane. Ecclesiae Et Sacre Imperij Romani," by Jacobus Typotius (1602). With text in Latin on verso.
