Commentary
Trace de frappe incuse au revers. Ce type semble beaucoup plus rare pour la deuxième officine que le laissent supposer les ouvrages généraux.
Trace of an incuse strike on the reverse. This type seems much rarer for the second workshop than general works suggest.

Historical background
CLAUDIUS II GOTHICUS
(+270)
Consecration of Aurelian
Claudius II the Gothic died in Sirmium in 270. He was deified by Aurélien who succeeded him, opposing Quintille, brother of Claudius II, who was quickly eliminated. Half a century later, Constantine I will link his filiation to Claudius II the Gothic. He claims that his grandmother is a daughter or niece of the Emperor who was carried off by the plague..
