A Roman copper alloy contemporary copy of an As of Claudius, dating to AD 41-50 (Reece Period 2). Reverse type depicts Minerva advancing right, holding spear and shield, S C in field. 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 native copy.
