Commentary
Poids lourd. Avec l’intégralité de son argenture superficielle. Rubans de type 3 aux extrémités bouletées. Ptéryges invisibles sous le paludamentum. Sans lettre d’officine. Semble de la plus grande rareté. Le seul exemoplaire recensé provient du trésor de La Venèra.
Heavyweight. With all its surface silver plating. Type 3 ribbons with rounded ends. Pteryges invisible under the paludamentum. Without an office letter. Appears to be extremely rare. The only example recorded comes from the La Venèra hoard.

Historical background
CLAUDIUS II GOTHICUS
(09/268-06-08/270)
Claude II is appointed Master of the Cavalry after the defection of Auréolus and is part of the plot which eliminates Gallien. Having promised Auréolus his life after the death of Gallienus, he nevertheless lets his troops massacre him after the surrender of Milan. Claudius II wins a brilliant victory over the Goths at Naissus, in Upper Moesia. Unfortunately, the vanquished spread the plague among the victors and Claude fell victim to it. He is deified after his death and an important restitution coinage is minted by Aurelian first in 270, then by Constantine I, who claimed to be descended from Claudius II, at the beginning of the 4th century..
