Grand documentOriginal passage from the "Grand document".

'The great bulk of the notebook consists of Bolton’s extracts from classical authors about Tiberius or Nero, and only the occasional page includes information about coins:

f.55v: the marginal description of the strange Augustan ‘coin’ of Nerva as IIIvir, added in the margin of a page which is a list of Tiberian place names ‘ex Ortelii Thesauro Geographico.’
ff.64v–65r: ‘Tiberiana’, a list of city names for coins of Tiberius (‘num. Tib.’) from Goltzius (‘ex Goltzii thesaur. cap. 17’), together with a description and comment of the Tiberian coins of Bilbilis with the name of Sejanus from Agustín (‘Antonii Augustini dial. 7. cap. 4.’).
f.118v: half a page on the coin of Britannicus and Adminius, which does not seem to be related to the notes which come before and after.
f.151v: a list of the fractions of the as, taken from a written source (the Institutes).
f.195v: a short entry about coins of Augustus: ‘the coigns of Augustus Caesar inscribed Ob cives servatos and Salus generis humani interpreted by Pline lib. 16. cap. 4: dedit hanc (civicam [querciam]) Agrippae. Sed civicam a GENERE HUMANO accepit ipse.’
f.220r Coins of Tiberius ex Goltzius and Occo.'
