Beschrijving voorzijde Laureate and draped bust of Emperor Claudius facing right, rendered in high relief with finely detailed hair curls and a laurel wreath secured about the head. The portrait displays the characteristic physiognomy of Claudius, with a broad neck and slightly fleshy features, typical of the Claudian dynastic style. The surrounding circular legend runs continuously along the coin's rim, set within a beaded border. The field is relatively plain, allowing the portrait to dominate the design. The workmanship reflects the high standard of the Rome mint during the early Imperial period.

Aanvullende informatie

The PACI AVGVSTAE ("to Augustan peace") coinage of Claudius was issued during a period when the regime had genuine military successes to project — most notably the British conquest begun in 43 AD — but also mounting anxieties about provincial unrest and Parthian pressure on Armenia. The pairing of Pax with Nemesis is deliberate and pointed: Nemesis as the divine force of retribution warned enemies that Roman peace came with consequences for those who broke it.

RIC I 62 is among the later Claudian denarius types, struck in his twelfth year of tribunician power.
