Commentary


Poids très lourd. Avecson argenture superficielle. Buste exceptionnel. Cuirasse orné de cinq globules posés en carré centré. Le bouclier est orné d’une tête de Méduse. Semble de même coin de coin de droit que l’exemplaire du Kunsthistorisches Museen de Vienne (coll.Markl, n° 51684). C’est la première fois que nous présentons un exemplaire de ce type.
Very heavy weight. With its superficial silvering. Exceptional bust. Breastplate decorated with five globules placed in a centered square. The shield is decorated with a head of Medusa. Appears to have the same legal corner as the example in the Kunsthistorisches Museen in Vienna (Coll.Markl, no. 51684). This is the first time that we present a example of this type

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..
