Aureus struck at the Lugdunum (Lyon) mint, AD 41. The reverse commemorates the "reception of the emperor" (imperator receptus) at the Praetorian Camp and the protection the Praetorian Guard afforded him in the days following the assassination of Caligula. Issued over a number of years in both gold and silver, these types of coins were struck to serve as part of the annual military payments Claudius had promised the Guard in return for their role in raising him to the throne.
