Grand documentOriginal passage from the "Grand document".

'We had last Thursday a letter from Mr W Bowyer the Printer, a Member, who wrote that his friend Mr Clarke, a prebendary of Chichester, (likewise a most learned and worthy member) had acquainted him, there had lately been found in that city a Roman coin, representing Nero and Drusus, sons of Germanicus, on horseback, and on the reverse C CAES DIVI AVG PRON AVG P M TR P III P P. In the middle, S C (which I find in Occo’s Caligula AUC 791, V. 40 p. 69), which, says he, though the very same which Patin on Suetonius, Mediobarbus, &c have given us before … is confirmation of the antiquity of Chichester. That ingenious gentleman, Mr W Bowyer, ... informs us, he is printing Mr Folkes’s Tables of our Silver Coins from the Conquest, about five sheets, I presume, at the expence of the Society of Antiquaries; and believe it will be the most accurate account extant. On the first instant Mr Kinson, a member, brought a broad thin, pure copper medal [Dutch Armada medal, 1587]'
