This bronze medal, created by the Italian artist Caradosso Foppa around 1506, depicts a detailed view of St. Peter's Basilica in Rome. The circular medal is approximately 5.68 cm in diameter, and the inscription "TEMPLVM S. PETRI INSTAVRATVM VATICANVS" surrounds the image, indicating the subject and location. This intricate work reflects the Renaissance interest in capturing realistic depictions of architectural marvels, showcasing the artistry and technical skill of medal-making during this period.
