Roman Empire, Claudius (41-54), 'DE BRITANN' AV Aureus, struck AD 46-47, Rome, TI CLAVD CAESAR AVG P M TR P VI IMP XI, laureate head right, rev. DE BRITANN on architrave, triumphal arch surmounted by an equestrian statue of the Emperor left, between two trophies, 7.57g [116.8grns], 7h (Cohen 17; BMC 32 (Rome); Lyon 52; RIC I², 33; Calicó 349; Von Kaenel, type 27; CNR XIV, pp. 51; cf. C Canessa [Le Musée VI, 1909], "Le trésor monétaire de Boscoreale", pp. 259-265), neatly centred on a pleasingly round flan, even rub to high points softened by residually brilliance in recesses which are further accentuated by that distinctive reddish 'burn' of Boscoreale tone, strictly very fine, but one of the most important coins in the entire British series delineating the Claudian subjugation of Britannia whilst simultaneously being pedigreed to the Roman world's most famous disaster at Pompeii; an OUTSTANDINGLY desirable offering for numismatists and historical custodians alike, unseen at commerce for over 80 YEARS
