" Who knows whether the best of men be known? or whether there be not more remarkable persons forgot, then any that stand remembered in the known account of time? "
IF the substantial subject be well forged out, we need not examine the sparks which irregularly fly from it.

Are there many of these? This Castle one reminds me forcibly of Roman coins of Danubian cities that show the city wall and its gate on the reverse of the coin.
Norwich's coat-of-arms shows the City's walls and alludes to Richard the Lionheart who granted the City it's heraldry because the city paid his ransom when kidnapped returning to England from the Crusades.
There are 6 or 7 coat-of-arms on the 3 early 17th century Monuments in Saint John Maddermarket
