Grand documentOriginal passage from the "Grand document".

'The Coyne which you shew me hath on ye obverse the head of Marcus Plaetorius Cestianus, with a dagger behinde his head; on the reverse it hath a Caduceus or Mercuries wande with this inscription: M. PLAETORJ CEST. EX. S. C., the J in Plaetorius and S. C. on the reverse are scarce visible, or y^e Dagger on the obverse. It is thus to be read; Marcus Plactorius Cestianus ex Senatus Consulto. [followed by a discussion of Plaetorius]. He had been an Aedile before that as I know by a coyne which I have with an Aediles chaire on the reverse, and this inscription: M. Plaetorius AED CVR EX S C, on ye obverse his head, with this inscription Cestianus.' (BL, Sloane MS 1833, f.16; Wilkin 1836, vol. 1, p. 415; Keynes 1964, vol. 4, pp. 387-8, letter 231; Burnett 2020b, p. 748)
