Title
Roman coin: as of Claudius
Description
English: A copper alloy contemporary copy of a Roman as of Claudius (AD 41 - 54) dating to the period AD 43 - 54 (Reece Period 2). Minerva reverse type depicting Minerva left, helmeted and draped, hurling javelin and holding round shield (the image is reversed) with S C below. Copying mint of Rome. cf. RIC I, p.128, no.100.

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.
