'An annotation in Peutinger’s copy of Polydore Vergil’s Anglicae Historiae (Basel, 1534), p. 42.16 In Book II chapter 8, Vergil describes Britain in the third century and discusses Carausius. Peutinger underlined the phrase in the printed text ‘Sed ad Carausiu’ redeamus,’ and added as an annotation in the margin:

Cum nomine Senatus
et tocius rei publicae

Imp Caes Carolum V

gis Angliae orator

[When I greeted the Emperor Charles V at Bruges in the name of the Senate and whole Republic of Augsburg, there also then was the ambassador of the English King, Thomas More, who showed me 200 gold and 600 silver coins, and wanted that I should take from them what I wanted. But I saw none which I did not previously have, except a coin of Carausius, which at my request he gave to me in the presence of the Spanish Juan Luis Vives with this inscription IMP CARAVSIVS P F AVG/ FELICITAS AVG HSR/on one side his portrait/ on the other a ship with men etc.]'
