This manuscript in two volumes contains a compendium of Roman history from the foundation of the city to the age of Constantine. It was composed in the 14th century by the Bolognese author Roberto della Porta for the governor of Bologna. The text in the manuscript was translated into French for Philip the Good, Duke of Burgundy. Some of the miniatures were executed by Loyset Liédet.

The scene on folio 215 of the second volume shows the entrance of an army into a town.
