Description: This authentic ancient Roman coin is a great piece of history that dates back to the year 41 AD. It features the image of the 5th Roman Emperor Claudius I, who ruled during the Roman Imperial era. The reverse depicts goddess Minerva. (see photos) Claudius (full name Tiberius Claudius Caesar Augustus Germanicus) was the fourth Roman emperor from 41 to 54 A.D. Best know for the successful expansion of Rome into Britain and parts of Africa and the Middle East, Claudius was an accomplished leader who brought forth improvements to the empire's judicial system, passed laws protecting enslaved workers, extended Roman citizenship and gave citizens more rights. After marrying his niece Agrippina, Claudius adopted her son Lucius Domitius Ahenobarbus (later the emperor Nero) to satisfy Agrippina's lust for power, much to the disadvantage of his own son Britannicus. Roman tradition is unanimous: Claudius was poisoned by Agrippina on October 13, 54 CE, though the details differ. This find is a great addition to any coin collection and is almost 2000 years old. Its significance as a piece of history cannot be overstated. C120
