A copper alloy contemporay copy of an as of Claudius (AD 41-54), dating to c. AD 41-54 (Reece Period 2). Uncertain reverse type. 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.
