Grand documentOriginal passage from the "Grand document".
"In argenteis tuis nos non minus \verum est/ spe nostra excidisse relibandis Numis verum est quam quod aenei fratris tui germani Thomae Halli supra nostram sunt exspectationem. Inter tuos enim non \modo/ dumtaxat fusiles \esse/ et adulterinos aliquot a caeteris iam sepositos, sed et inter veteres \etiam/ Caesares et A\u/gustas Drusum Germanicum, Gaium, Juliam Titi filiam, Marcianam Traiani sororem, Didium Julianum et Gordianum Ium inter citeriores, Claudium Gothicum, Fl. Val. Constantium, Constantinum Magnum, Constantinum Juniorem et Constantem ipsius filios, aliosque no\n/nullos \indagantibus/ satis obvios deesse comperimus."
[In going through your silver coins again it is no less true that they have disappointed my hopes as much as the bronzes of your own brother Thomas Hall are above my expectations. Among yours I have found not only are there casts and fakes which have now been to some extent separated from the others, but that among the ancient Empresses and Empresses I have also found to be missing Drusus, Germanicus, Caligula, Julia the daughter of Titus, Marciana the sister of Trajan, Didius Julianus and Gordian I, [and] among the more recent Claudius Gothicus, Fl. Val. Constantius, Constantine the Great, and his sons Constantine II and Constans, and several others who are easy enough to find for those who look for them.] (BL MS Harley 378, f.100v; Burnett 2020b, p. 1189)
