| Note |
The attribution to Pergamum is plausible, in terms of style, designs and epigraphy (including the use of the accusative case). The magistrate is not otherwise recorded for Pergamum, and it is the first use of the name of a strategos on the coinage of Pergamum, the magistracy which became the standard one used on the coinage of the city from the Flavian period onwards. Until this coin, no magistrate had been recorded for Claudius. CNG suggested that it was a commemorative issue struck under Domitian, because of the appearance of a strategos; but this seems implausible, and an attribution to Claudius seems simpler.
