A copper alloy Roman contempary copy of an as of Claudius I dating to the period AD 41-53 (Reece period 2). Reverse type showing Minerva advancing holding javelin and shield. 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.
