Brass dupondius of Claudius (AD 41-54), to the period AD 42 (Reece period 2). CERES AVGVSTA S C reverse type depicting Ceres enthroned holding corn ears and torch. Mint of Rome. Sear vol. 1 1856, RIC 94.

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 minted at the Lyon II, à la Petite Têtemint, mint.
