Roman Coin: Contemporary copy of an As of Claudius |
||
Description |
English: A small copper-alloy contemporary copy of an As of Claudius (AD 41-54), Minerva with spear and shield on the reverse.
Reece Period 2 Notes: Many copies of Claudian period asses were struck in Britain in the decades following the invasion of AD 43. This was because there was a serious shortage of small change for the up to 50,000 or so Roman soldiers in the Province to use. It is now reckoned that many of these coins were in fact semi-official, being struck at legionary bases such as Colchester. The "Minerva" As was the most common type copied. Although we date these coins to the reign of Claudius on the Database, they probably continued to be produced until c. AD 64 when Nero initiated a massive issue of base metal coins from the mints of Rome and Lugdunum. Note taken from S Moorheads notes on: SUSS-4B8082 |
