The Raterian iconography or Civitas Veronensis Depicta is the oldest known depiction of the city of Verona. Dating from the first half of the 10th century, it was found by a Benedictine monk from Lobbes Abbey (Belgium) in a medieval codex that also contained the Rhythmus Pipinianus. That codex had belonged to Ratherius, bishop of the city between July 932 and 968. Since the codex was lost following the passage of French revolutionary troops,^[1] the one that exists today is a copy made by Scipione Maffei, an 18th-century scholar from Verona.^[2]

The iconography also contains the following description of the Arena of Verona:

De summo montis Castrum prospectat in urbem

Dedalea factum arte viisque tetris

nobile, praecipuum, memorabile, grande theatrum,

ad decus exstructum, sacra Verona, tuum.

Magna Verona, vale, valeas per secula semper

et celebrent gentes nomen in orbe tuum.

From the top of the hill, the castle overlooks the city,
with dark galleries and art worthy of Daedalus,
the noble, distinguished, memorable, great theater [the Arena],
built according to your prestige, sacred Verona.
Great Verona, farewell, you live forever through the centuries
and may all the nations of the world celebrate your name.
