A contemporary copy of an as/dupondius of Claudius, AD 41-54.
Robert Kenyon, following on from the work by the French scholars P-A. Besombes and M. Bompaire (in Trésors Monétaires XXI, 2005), is working through the British examples of Claudian coinage recorded through the PAS assigning many so-called Claudian contemporary copies to Roman auxiliary mints which operated at Lyons (Gaul) and in Spain. This example is a contemporary copy of those that were minted at the Iberian Peninsula I, Workshop B, auxiliary mint.
