Commentary


Imitation. Poids excessivement léger. Rubans de type 3. Le portrait et le revers sont stylisés (origine Balkans). Contremarque DV dans un cartouche au droit sur le cou de Claude pour dupondius. Ce sesterce trop léger a donc été transformé en une monnaie plus de valeur inférieure.
Imitation. Excessively light weight. Type 3 ribbons. The portrait and the reverse are stylized (Balkan origin). Countermark DV in a cartouche on the right side of Claudius's neck for dupondius. This sestertius, too light, was therefore transformed into a lower-value coin.

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.
