Grand documentOriginal passage from the "Grand document".

'Why has the Victoria, on the reverse of Constantine the Great’s coin of VICTORIA SARMAT a scorpion in one hand, and a palm branch in the other? May not all the exergues of the later empire, after Carausius’s time at least, which have these letters, PLC, PLCN, LCN, SLCN, SLC be properly read Percussum or Signatum Lindi Coloniae, and the PLN, SLN, LN be read Londini, as I think I have been the first conjecturer?'

(Nichols 1781-1790, pp. 282-7; Burnett 2020b, p. 1660)
