The goldsmith told me that a great sort were found at Tongres, which we past from the day before.<br> ...<br> [at Binga = Bingen] Here I bought two fair coins of Diocletian and Maximian for a stiver.<br> ...<br> [at ‘Estling’ = Esslingen] At Estling we lay that night, after my custom I went to the goldsmiths’ shops, and with one man I found plenty of coins, but all brass. I went to his chamber, and for twelve I would have given him two French crowns: five of them were of AUGUSTUS: the other of the xii first emperors: I never saw goodlier.... The man of his gentilness gave me an Augustus, having on one side Divus Augustus Pater, and on the other Providentia. He told me that the bishops of Trivers and JOANNES JACOBUS FUCCARUS the rich merchant of Augusta, and an earl that is with the emperor, doth seek all old coins they can, both gold, silver, and brass. The three great lords make old coins here too dear except our new money were more plenty and better. I saw here at Augusta three coins emongs a great number, for which I proffered half a crown a-piece. The first was thick, having of one side four running horses, on the other side an elephant, and this word Caesar only in fair letters. The second was fair and thick, with this name P. CLODIUS: the third was LIBO SCRIBONIUS. Some of you will jest at my diligence in seeking thus old monuments: but I do it for the remembrance veteris et amici et praeceptoris nostri Mr PEMBER, whom I do not forget, ...<br> ...<br> [at ‘Gamsbroug, the baiting town betwixt Ulma and Augusta’ = Günzburg] I bought of a goldsmith, a Jew, two notable coins in silver, a Nero that weighs about iiii oz and a Domitian with anchora Aldi. He let me see an Hebrew coin of gold, old and fair, but he would not sell it. 14336 English Giles 1865-1866, vol.
