Plate 59, Relief with the Apotheosis of Sabina (identified in the inscription as Faustina). The relief – originally from the Arch of Portugal – has been in the Capitoline Museum since 1664, where it is displayed in the staircase of the Palazzo dei Conservatori Museum (inv. MC1213). Plate 58 is also after a relief from the Arch of Portugal (Hadrian donating food to Roman children). These images appear at the end of the volume, in a section of nineteen plates (and four half-page unnumbered images) with ancient Roman statues and bas-reliefs. Unlike the plates in the rest of the volume, these are not accompanied by descriptive text.
