Grand documentOriginal passage from the "Grand document".

'I forgot to tell you that last Christmas, at the same place, was dug up a very fair bust of a Jupiter, in copper, about three inches long, and a coin of Nero with it; so that in all probability it was buried there when Boadicea sacked Verulamium during that Emperor's reign; both which I have now here.' (Hunter 1832, vol. 2, pp. 253-5; Burnett 2020b, p. 400 n. 171)
