Grand documentOriginal passage from the "Grand document".
'Mr. Ward, accompanyed with a ground plot, from an actual survey; and an intire flat Roman brick. The streets are very visible in the corn in dry years, especially those two crossing each other from the four gates. He says there’s one place in the city called silver hill, remarkable for the many silver coyns found there, and some of gold. One he gave to Dr. Mead, of Allectus, finely preserved, reverse ORIENS AVG, exergue ML.' (Lukis 1882-1887, vol. 2, p. 187; Burnett 2020b, p. 1134 n. 169)
