Grand documentOriginal passage from the "Grand document".

'That it [Aldborough, Yorkshire] was a Roman colony the author well proves from the coins frequently found, not many elder than Claudius, yet some of Augustus Caesar; and so down to the Antonines, with Carausius; two of the thirty tyrants, viz. Posthumus and Tetricus; also Carausius and Allectus; but Constantines are most abounding.'

(Drake 1736, pp. 28-9; Burnett 2020b, p. 1219 n. 349)
