- Inscriptions and Marks
-
- inscription: obverse: [TI CLAV]DIVS CAESAR AVG [PM TR P IMP]
- inscription: reverse: [CON]STANTIAE AVG[VSTI]
- design: The end of the obverse legend is illegible. (. . . IMP would be dated 41-50(?) CE; . . . IMP P P would be dated 50(?)-54 CE.) But see RIC I 2, p. 127 n. 95, where the authors note that the earlier issue was imitated, whereas the later issue has no such note; the piece is severely underweight and the style might be suspect as well.
- Obverse Inscription: TI CLAVDIVS CAESAR AVG P M TR P IMP
- Reverse Inscription: CONSTANTIAE AVGVSTI S C
