500 # # $a The List of plates in the combined work calls for 32 plates, which it lists by numbers 2-13, 15-22, 24-28, 30-36 and in most cases also by letters (B-F, GG, H, I, K, L, L, M-S, V-Z, Bb), and by corresponding page-numbers. The plates themselves carry a plate letter and a page-number.

The number of unnumbered pages at the beginning of the book varies from copy to copy (described by cataloguers as 6, 10 or 12). Some copies are described as having 59 leaves of plates.

520 2 # $a De Triumphis has its own pagination and title-plate (with the title, F. Onuphrii Panvinii Eremitae Augustiniani. De Triumpho Romanorum Commentarius). The publication date of 1580 is carried by the plates of the De Ludis, except plate 'M. Pag.49', which is dated 1565, and plates H and X, which are undated. The fifth plate of the De Triumphis is also undated.

These two works describe horse-races and other games and the military celebrations of the ancient Romans.

The plates reproduce images on coins, bas-reliefs etc. depicting these ceremonies. Some are attempts at reconstructions of buildings and events, based on visual and literary sources.

Before his early death in 1568 Panvinio had completed drawings for the plates (with the help of Mercurio Baiardi); and sets of the plates dated 1565 and 1566 survive at Florence and Paris (in the book itself plate 'M. Pag.49' still carries the date 1565). The De Triumphis was first issued in 1571 by the Venetian publisher Michele Tramezzino in separate Latin and Italian editions. The De Ludis was prepared by Tramezzino's heir Venturino Tramezzino by having dates on all plates (except one) altered to 1580; but he died before the publication, and so the work first appeared in 1600, with plates still bearing the date 1580. (Mortimer and Pollak mention the possibility of earlier publication at Antwerp in 1596; but no copies of such an edition have been seen.)
