Grand documentOriginal passage from the "Grand document".

'Your last kind letter was so over carefully laid up, (a fault which I am too frequently guilty of,) that I have had a deal of searching for it, in order to my giving of thanks with a better grace. Yesterday, I happily found it stuck up in Mediobarbus, at p. 176, 177, where mention is made of your coin of Hadrian, the reverse of which he thus describes : Figura genuflexa cum Curriculo ab Imperatore sublevatur. That Emperor was a restorer of almost all the several provinces that depended on the Roman Empire ; and some of his coins (in the pages forementioned) bear his title, Restitutori Orbis Terrarum, which was a rant, that was copied by Aurelian, Probus, and some others.' (Hunter 1832, vol. 2, pp. 105-7; Burnett 2020b, p. 869 n. 159)
