Page 59 from the book "De Roma Sotterranea" ("Rome Underground"), by Antoine Bosio. With an engraving depicting two sarcophagi with relief carvings of Biblical scenes upon them, with a fictional background. The lower sarcophagus features two side views of pairs of dolphins, rendered in the Roman style. The background includes a valley with trees and a castle in the far distance, at left, and a river bordered with mountains with a boat or small ship upon it, at right. Italian text printed above and below describes the figure. In translation, this caption reads, "These two Pili were found in the floor of St. Peter [probably a church or cemetary] in 1590. I recopied [this image] from Ciaccone, and from Vinghio."
Watermark in paper; a rectangular shieldlike form with what may be an animal motif.
