Commentary


Deux exemplaires seulement semblent signalés : un à Oxford (Ashmolean Museum, Heberden Coin Room) et le second au Cabinet des médailles de la BnF (BN/R 191, pl. 26). Cette pièce qui manquait au Cohen et à la première édition du RIC fut publiée pour la première fois par G. Elmer (NZ. 1934, p. 27). Cette pièce est certainement l’une des mieux datées du monnayage romain puisque elle aurait été frappée entre le 1er janvier et le 4 ou le 6 janvier 42 avant que Claude ne reçoive le titre de Pater Patriæ entre le 6 et le 12 janvier 42.
Only two examples seem to be reported: one in Oxford (Ashmolean Museum, Heberden Coin Room) and the second in the Cabinet des médailles of the BnF (BN/R 191, pl. 26). This coin, which was missing from the Cohen and the first edition of the RIC, was published for the first time by G. Elmer (NZ. 1934, p. 27). This coin is certainly one of the best dated in Roman coinage since it would have been struck between 1 January and 4 or 6 January 42 before Claudius received the title of Pater Patriæ between 6 and 12 January 42

Historical background


CLAUDIUS

(24/01/41-13/10/54)

Claude was born in 10 BC in Lyon. Became emperor by chance after the assassination of Caligula in 41, he is despite physical flaws a great emperor and a good administrator, but remains dominated by his wives and his freedmen who hold the reality of power. In 50, after his marriage with his niece, Agrippina, he adopted his son Nero to the detriment of Britannicus, his own son born of the union with Messalina. He dies assassinated by Agrippina who serves him a dish of poisoned mushrooms.
