Monumens de la vie privée des douze césars, d?après une suite de pierres gravées sous leur Règne.

[Bound uniformely with:] Monumens du culte secret des dames romaines, d?après une suite de Pierres gravées sous leur Regne; Pour servir de suite à la vie des douze Césars.
A Rome, de l?imprimerie du Vatican, 1790. (engraved title page 1787). [II], 16, 98 p.

The scandalous side of the love life of the Romans depicted in cameo?s. It is based on an earlier work, Veneres et Priapi uti observantur in gemmis antiquis, first published in Naples about 1771. The cameo?s are probably invented by the author, in the words of Quérard, "in this book the author tries to present the fruits of his libidinous imagination as antique treasures".

The first part of 1780 is the first issue of the first edition with the title printed in 11 lines, the second work is a re-impression of the ?Vatican? edition. In May 1815 and September 1826, this book was condemned by the Royal Court of Paris.
