Roman copper alloy as?, probably copy of Claudius AE As, AD50-100 (Reece Period 2 or 3). Reverse: Minerva advancing right, holding shield and brandishing a javelin. RIC 116. 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.
