Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A copper alloy contemporary copy of a Claudian as. Reverse: S C; worn standing figure. This coin is possibly a copy of the 'Minerva' as (RIC 1(2) (Claudius), 100). 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.
