| Reference | RIC 92 | Bronze Dupondius 26mm (10.38 grams) Rome mint: 41-42 A.D. under emperor Claudius
Britain was an attractive target for Rome because of its material wealth — particularly mines and slaves
However, as the Flavians became established, they needed to emphasize their own credentials more, and their references to Claudius ceased
There is also a reference to Claudius' suppression of one of the coups against him in the movie Gladiator , though the incident is entirely fictional
Additionally, the coin is inside it's own protective coin flip (holder), with a 2x2 inch description of the coin matching the individual number on the COA
