Therefore Claudius&#039; very large issue of sestertii and middle bronzes omitting PP must all have been struck between his accession in late January 41 and circa January 10, 42. It is evident that Claudius&#039; three As types, LIBERTAS AVGVSTA, CONSTANTIAE AVGVSTI, and Minerva, were introduced together very soon after the beginning of the reign and were struck alongside each other first until the appearance of PP in January 42, and then until the end of the PP issue probably in 43.&quot;</p><p><br /></p><p>Whom should one follow, von Kaenel or Kraay?<img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie100" alt=":wideyed:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>This is my exemplar, which according to Kraay would have been minted in Rome, January 42 – 43 AD:</p><p>28 x 29.5 mm, 9.34 g; </p><p>RIC I (2nd edition) 113 </p><p style="text-align: center">[ATTACH=full]899197[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]899198[/ATTACH]</p><p>[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
