Grand documentOriginal passage from the "Grand document".
Identifies some of the drawings and casts sent by Carcavi. Has nothing to add to what de Carcavi said about CONOB, and explains his view that emperors were shown unarmed because coins were mostly expressions of religion or the worship of gods: ‘weapons are kept away from the sacred: Godshavenoneedofswords’(sacrisarcentur arma; neq’ Numinibus opus est gladiis’).
