Object type: CUFF LINK
Broad period: POST MEDIEVAL
County: Cumbria
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
Copper alloy cuff link dating from the 17th or early 18th century. What survives is the die stamped disc with a bevelled edge and hollow back which retains a grey-buff material, probably a fixative.

Probably a contemporary copy of a Claudian as dating from the mid 1st century AD
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 I, à la Grosse Tête, mint.
