9. Agellus patruī
meī in Cantiō est, inter Dubrās et Rutupiās situs. Dubrae et Rutupiae oppida
antīqua sunt. Multa sunt monumenta antīqua in Britanniā, multa vestīgia
Rōmānōrum. Reliquiae villārum, oppidōrum, amphitheātrōrum Rōmānōrum hodiē
exstant. Multae viae Rōmānae in Britanniā sunt. In Cantiō est via Rōmāna inter
Rutupiās et Londinium. Solum Britannicum multōs nummōs aureōs, argenteōs,
aēneōs et Britannōrum et Rōmānōrum occultat. Rusticīs nummī saepe sunt causa
lucrī, cum arant vel fundāmenta aedificiōrum antīquōrum excavant. Nam nummōs
antīquōs magnō pretiō vēnumdant. Patruō meō magnus numerus est nummōrum
Rōmānōrum.

[1] My uncle's plot of land is in Kent, between Dover and
Richborough. [2] Dover and Richborough are ancient towns. There are many
ancient monuments in Britain, many traces of the Romans. [3] Remains of Roman
villas, towns, and amphitheatres exist today. There are many [4] Roman roads in
Britain. In Kent there is a Roman road between Richborough and London. The
British soil hides many [5] gold, silver, and bronze coins of both the Britons
and the Romans. The coins are often a [6] source of profit for people living in
the countryside when they’re [7] ploughing or excavating the foundations of
ancient buildings. For they sell ancient coins at a great price. [8] My uncle
has a large number of Roman coins.
