Grand documentOriginal passage from the "Grand document".

'His literis inclusum dono tibi mitto argenteum nummum CAII CAESARIS. In sequentibus CAESARIBUS additi sunt loquaciores tituli, quod saepe animadverti in omnium fere CAESARUM nummis, aureis, aut argenteis, usque ad Gotticam illam barbariem. Hic ex una parte tantum CAESARIS nomen inscribitur. His priscae antiquitatis reliquiis quia plurimum ipse capior, hunc nummum tibi mittere volui, plures deinceps missurus, si te hoc antiquae et benevolentiae meae et temporum vetustatis monumento delectatum esse cognovero.'

[Enclosed in this letter is a gift of a silver coin of Caius Caesar. Later Caesars added ever more wordy titles, as I have often remarked on the gold and silver of almost all the Caesars down to the Gothic invasions. Here on one side only the name of Caesar is inscribed. Because I am myself so fascinated by these relics of antiquity, I wanted to send this coin to you, and shall send you more later if I learn that you are delighted by this memento of ancient times and of my old friendship.]
