A Roman copper alloy as of Claudius (AD 41-54), dating to AD 41-54 (Reece Period 2). Libertas standing right with pileus. Uncertain mint. Cf. RIC I (revised edition), p. 128, no. 97.
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 from the Iberian Peninsula I, Workshop B, mint.
