Grand documentOriginal passage from the "Grand document".
I wish I could have look’d over his [my brother’s] collection of meddals I think he had several brittish ones that are not in Cambden, but you know nothing certain is made out by those, soe that they are a bare curiosity. I am almost assurd I have known him make usefull inferences from his Roman Coyns that referr’d to Britain, but I never had a head that way, I only use a vaga lectio to fill up my time. I had soe little curiosity that I forgott where that brass little head was found, the draught is in the same paper with the Gold Medaillion [of Constantius]…
The gold coyn was found by plowing att Tre Varthin in Angles<ey>. …
My brother had some of the coyns that were found there [Caer Hên] & I could wish I could have enformd you what emperors they were of, thore was lately found an urne att Llysvaen, near Penmaen Rhos, ’twas last year the urn was broke & most of the coyns before I heard on’t wore sold for a penny a dozen, I gott six, they were of Tetricus & Victorinus.
