status: Awaiting validation 
A Roman copper-alloy as of Claudius, probably a copy of Minerva brandishing spear type, as per RIC 100. Copying mint of Rome, AD 41-2. 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 as a contemporary copy, auxiliary mint, or Mint of Rome because there is no image.
