This aureus corresponds to the period when Claudius ordered a number of posthumous issues in honour of his father, celebrating here his military achievements with this triumphal arch. Richly decorated and full of details, it depicts the victories of Nero Claudius Drusus over the Germans. From 13 BC until his death, he defeated various Germanic tribes as legate of Gaul, then consul during the year of his death in 9 BC. Posthumously, the Senate granted him the title of Germanicus, \"conqueror of the Germans\", and erected a triumphal arch in his honour in Rome. It still exists today, although it is very damaged. We can imagine that this arch, on the Via Appia, was, when it was built, adorned with the decorations visible on the coin, with a superb equestrian statue as well as statues and military trophies celebrating the victories of the emperor's father over the troops of the Germanic tribes. There is a small mark on the cheek of the portrait, but despite the circulation wear, this is a fine and rare example of aureus, whose reverse is full of history.
