The Regina Turdulorum Hoard (Casas de Reina, Badajoz) was buried
with 818 imitative antoniniani of Divo Claudio type, minted in
copper. The vast majority of the coins bear the reverse legend
CONSECRATIO. This figure makes the Regina Turdulorum hoard one of
the most important in Spain and Portugal. In numismatic terms, the
most common reverse type is the funeral pyre, as opposed to the
eagle. In addition to this main group, there is a second group,
where there are curious imitations that follow various prototypes
for the manufacture of the reverse. The study of the posthumous
coinage of Claudius II and his imitations represents one of the
most complex tasks in ancient numismatics. The work is considerably
complicated by the fact that they are highly copied coins, which
means that regular issues are very difficult to distinguish from
the imitations. In this sense, the hoard provides vital information
for the western monetary circulation of the Roman Empire,
contributing to the debate on Gallic and African imitations. It
also opens the way to the hypothesis that Hispania may have been
another centre for issuing Divo Claudio imitations. Although the
latter remains to be proven, the tentative and open nature of this
book provides the opportunity to open new lines of study in the
hope that they will be resolved sooner rather than later.
