Claudius II dated coins
« on: July 07, 2018, 11:21:13 AM »

These two Claudius II coins are dated to A.D. 269; though they don't actually have a date on them. They are dated by the legends- P M TR P II COS P P.  The tribuncian years of Claudius II were 268, 269, and 270 and these coins with TR P II mean his second year as tribune, so A.D. 269.
