Grand documentOriginal passage from the "Grand document".

'A copy [of Thomas Gale's Antonine Itinerary] in the Bodleian is covered with Roger’s annotations, suggesting that he may have been intending a second edition. Some of these refer to coins and coin finds, some with drawings.[fn: p. 102, a drawing of a legionary denarius of Mark Antony, with LEG XI: ‘Nummus argenteus prope Ancastriam repertus a.d. 1709, et jam penes me est’ [a silver coin found near Ancaster in AD 1709 and now in my collection]; p. 113 a reference to Plot for his coin of Cunobelin; and p. 114, with a drawing of a coin of Nero and Agrippina: ‘Nummus aureus Maldoniae repertus’ [gold coin found at Maldon].] Although he made no additional comment regarding the supposed coin of Septimius Severus minted for the colony at York (p. 19), he does have a note and drawing concerning the equally false coin of Geta supposed minted by the Roman colony at Chester. He provided a little drawing, which is copied from Speed’s map of Cheshire in his 1616 series, of the coin with the inscription across the reverse COL. DIVANA. LEG. XX.VICTRIX. He comments: ‘Nummum hunc Sept. Getae tribuit, sed videtur Marij [later added:] Constantini Magni, sed illum quaere in Goltzio. v. etiam illum Marij inter num. Romanos a Camdeno tabula ultima datos’ [He [Goltzius] attributed this to Septimius Geta, but it seems to be of Marius [later added:] Constantine the Great, but look for it in Goltzius. See also that of Marius among the Roman coins given by Camden on his last plate].' (Burnett 2020b, pp. 395-6)
