Grand documentOriginal passage from the "Grand document".
'Mr Ballard of Campden hath a very fine Collection of Coins, found at Cirencester, of wch he hath sent me a List according to the order of time, and perhaps they are of more sorts than ever were found in any one place in Britain, Alcester excepted. One of them is a Clod. Albinus in large Brass; ’tis a beautiful (as well as valuable) Coin; it was found 9 foot deep under ground at the bottom of a Brick foundation. Among them is likewise an Allectus in middle size Copper; ’tis admirably fair, and of so beautifull an impression, that it surpasses all the Coins (Mr Ballard hath seen) of the lower Empire. Also among them are Fl. Helena, & Max. Theodora both in smal brass & extreamly fair. And one of Delmatius in small Copper. Also Magnentius and Decentius both in middle copper, and Jul. Helena (daughter of Constantine the Great) in small Copper.'
