Commentary


Pour ce type très rare, Luc Severs a répertorié 39 exemplaires dont vingt-et-un coins de droit et quatorze coins de revers. Notre exemplaire est de même coin de droit que l’exemplaire du trésor de Brézins (Severs n° 9) et de même coin de revers que l’exemplaire de la vente Peus des 3-5 avril 1979, n° 526 (Severs n° 35).
For this very rare type, Luc Severs listed 39 examples including twenty-one obverse dies and fourteen reverse dies. Our example has the same obverse die as the example from the Brézins treasure (Severs No. 9) and the same reverse die as the example from the Peus sale of April 3-5, 1979, No. 526 (Severs No. 35).

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..
