Grand documentOriginal passage from the "Grand document".

I lately pict up this Medal w^ch is the fairest I ever saw. the Features are cut with that sweetness & the Relief so bold that I am willing to esteem it as a very valuable Curiosity; especially since I cannot doubt of its genuineness, & it bears the Name of an Emperor y^t reign’d but few months [Tacitus]. I have not had opportunity to shew it to Mr Kennet (who is a great lover of Ancient Coines & to whom I have communicated some few), I should be glad to be confirm’d in my Opinion or to be corrected if I mistake concerning it from so curious a person as your Self. (Burnett 2020b, p. 1246)
