| Additional information |
Antioch's bronze coinage under Claudius operated under a civic-style arrangement unusual for a Roman imperial province — the city retained striking authority with its own magistrates, producing fractional bronzes that circulated alongside the tetradrachm series rather than replacing it. This semis belongs to the second phase of Claudian Antiochene output, dated by the dual regnal and civic year system the mint employed with unusual consistency.
McAlee's numbering places this among the more readily attributable Claudian fractions, though die links across the Wruck sequence remain incompletely catalogued.
