Grand documentOriginal passage from the "Grand document".
'Being today with Sr Andrew Fountaine, he told me that he has lately been in Holland, where he has purchas’d a great Number of Curious Books and Coyns, some for himself but most for my Lord Pembroke. He likewise told me that he design’d to write a Dissertation in Latin upon Carausius & Allectus, and to explain all their Coyns wch he could procure, wch will be of great use to all curious Persons, this part of Roman History having not yet been sufficiently written of, for want of such undertakers as are skill’d in Coyns. Dr Sikes ... had ... a good Number of Coyns ... Sir Andrew Fountaine formerly saw them, & assures me yt one of Carausius’s amongst ym is very valuable, there being on the Reverse VICTORIA CEA, the like whereof he never saw before in his life.'
