Grand documentOriginal passage from the "Grand document".
'I have made it my business to enquire after Roman coins, medals, and inscriptions which have been found about York or Aldbury. I have got above 100 copper coins which were digged up near York, of which there are 75 of Constantine, and 16 several designs on the reverse. There are 4 of Constantius, 3 of Maximianus, 1 of Magnentius, 5 of Maximinus, 1 of Maxentius, and 6 of Licinius; besides 2 which I cannot read. I have taken 16 of the fairest of Constantine, which contain all the several varietys on the reverse, and 1 a piece of the fairest of the rest, so that I have 24 fair coins, all several, which if you think convenient I can send you. 1 have a promise from lawyer Hildyard (the only antiquary about York) to see what he has collected, which I shall do when I go next to York. Sir James Brook has a considerable number of coins of gold, silver, and copper, which were digged up about old Aldbury, which he has given me a sight of; only I desire your directions, whether you would have me take the impression of them in wax, or otherwise describe them to you, seeing that he will scarce be prevaile to part with any of them' (Lukis 1882-1887, vol. 3, pp. 286-90; Burnett 2020b, pp. 710 n. 83, 1240 n. 565)
