CAESAR MARCVS AVRELIVS CLAVDIVS AVGVSTVS

II. During the reign of Emperor Claudius Gothicus between 268 and 270, a significant amount of money was minted, primarily to commemorate the victory over the Goths. The coins were made of a variety of metals, including gold, silver, and bronze. The most significant of the gold coins are the solidi, which bear the portrait of Claudius and the words "IMPerator CLAVDIVS AVGVSTVS GERMANICUS GOTHICVS." These coins were made for the Roman army and greatly contributed to strengthening the military power of the empire. Among the silver coins, the most common type is the denarius, which bears the portrait of Claudius and the inscription "IMPerator CLAVDIVS AVGVSTVS GERMANICUS GOTHICVS". These coins were made for the civilian population and show the emperor's popularity. Among the bronze coins, the most common type is the follis, which bears the portrait of Claudius and the inscription "IMPerator CLAVDIVS AVGVSTVS GERMANICUS GOTHICVS". These coins were made for the lower strata of purchasing power and reflected the legitimacy of the emperor's rule. Claudius' coinage had a significant impact on the financial system of the Roman Empire. The emperor minted a large amount of money, which helped to stabilize the empire's economy. The quality of the money also improved, indicating the emperor's firm rule.
