Grand documentOriginal passage from the "Grand document".
'My Friend the Honble Ben. Leonard Calvert, Esq., writes me word in a Letter (Jan. 17 last) that a Gentleman of his Acquaintance lately shew’d him an Otho’s Coyn, which was surreptitiously taken from a Collection abroad. It seems to have a greenish rust upon it, which is much worn off by the Getleman’s carrying it in his Pocket. On one side is Otho’s Head, with this Inscription, IMP OTHO CAESAR AVG TRI POT. On the other, an Altar, with Soldiers joyning hands, with a Priest, or some other person, in a long robe. The inscription SECVRITAS P R; at the bottom S C; about the Size of half a crown. It’s very fair, and well struck. If he can procure me a sight of it, he will send it me for my Observation. He hath lately some Greek Coyns given him, brought from Aleppo.'
(Hearne 1885, vol. 7 p. 213; Burnett 2020b, pp. 1290-1)
