De figuris Veneris (On the figures of Venus) was an anthology of ancient Greek and ancient Roman writings on erotic topics, discussed objectively and classified and grouped by subject matter. It was first published by the German classicist Friedrich Karl Forberg in 1824 in Latin and Greek as a commentary to his poem Antonii Panormitae Hermaphroditus, though it was later also published as a separate work. It was later also translated into English, French and German (one French edition was illustrated by Édouard-Henri Avril). It concludes with a list of 90 sexual positions.
