Notes:
Ex Arthur Bally-Herzog Collection (Münzen und Medaillen 93, 16 December 2003), lot 106; privately purchased from Spink in 1905 for CHF 300. The Roman Senate voted to erect two triumphal arches to celebrate Claudius' conquest of Britain, one in Gaul and another in Rome. Fragments of the latter still survive. It announces that the arch was erected "by the Roman Senate and the People because he had received the surrender of eleven British kings defeated without loss and brought barbarian peoples beyond the Ocean for the first time under the rule of Rome" (H. Dessau, Inscriptiones Latinae Selectae 216; CIL VI, 920)
