This image is a detailed engraving, styled to look like a coin or medallion, featuring two central figures, who appear to be allegorical or symbolical in nature given their classical attire and the attributes they carry. One figure is on the left side labeled "ROMA," presumably symbolizing the city or empire of Rome, and the other on the right is labeled "BAT(AVIA)," which may represent Batavia, the old name for the Dutch Republic or an area within it. Both figures are standing prominently and are facing each other as if in dialogue or agreement. The figure representing Roma wears a helmet and carries a spear, embodying martial prowess or authority, while Batavia's figure has a more peaceful and flowing garb with a cornucopia, possibly indicating prosperity and plenty. Each figure stands on a defeated foe, possibly indicating triumph over adversity or enemies. Surrounding the central figures is a crowd of onlookers, some are more detailed towards the front, while others appear as a mass of people in the background. At the very top inside the medallion edge, the text "SOCIETAS ROMANORVM" can be seen, suggesting a theme of fellowship or alliance between Romans and another entity. In the border along the circumference, additional information is included, such as names of rivers ("RHENVS" likely representing the Rhine and "MOSA" which could be the Meuse), and at the bottom, there are the initials "I. C." and the year "1575," which may indicate the artist or engraver and the date of creation. At the bottom edge of the medallion, outside of the inner circle, the text reads "Adr. Collaert fecit" which denotes that Adriaen Collaert is the creator of the work. The overall design and iconography suggest that the image may represent a historical or political alliance, treaty, or some form of collaboration between the entities symbolized by Roma and Batavia, set in the context of the 16th century. The artwork is intricately detailed, typical of engravings from that historical period.
