Grand documentOriginal passage from the "Grand document".

'Stradling wrote back to express his pleasure that the fourth edition of Britannia meant that his ‘Romano-Donatish coins were liberated from all fear of corrosion’. However, Stradling went on to say that, just after he ‘had sent him [Camden] those bronze Roman coins which had emerged on our coastal stretch’, another hoard had come to light, of silver Roman coins. It included six emperors he describes as ‘Domit’ (whom he believed to be Domitius Nero: presumably a Roman Republican coin?), Vespasian and his two sons, Trajan and Antoninus Pius. He added that he hoped to show them to Camden soon after Christmas.' (Burnett 2020b, p. 116)
