* The Romans Roman Britain Gold aureus of emperor Claudius Roman, AD 46-47 Minted at Rome, Italy This coin celebrates Claudius triumph over Britain. The back shows a triumphal arch, of the sort erected by Romans in honour of a victorious general, rather like Londons Marble Arch or the Arc de Triomphe in Paris. On the top we see Claudius on horseback with two trophies of weapons either side of him. The letters on the arch read DE BRITANNIS, which is the Latin for [A triumph] over the Britons. A fragment of the arch can still be seen at the Capitoline Museum in Rome.
