A copper alloy dupondius or as of the emperor Claudius or Nero dating to the period AD 41-68 (Reece Periods 2-3). The obverse depicts an unclear head or bust facing right. The reverse is illegible.
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 could not be classified to a mint.
Notes:
It is possible that this is a Claudian copy.
Identified by Dr Sam Moorhead.
