The discovery of the in Lyon in 1528 took place in an environment where there was already a keen interest in the material remains of Roman antiquity. After its discovery, the inscription was put on permanent display at the city hall of Lyon, and various researchers made transcripts which, initially, remained in manuscript. In the mid-1530s, in the context of the struggle between France and Habsburg, the also acquired political significance. The first printed editions of the text appeared from the late 1530s onwards.

Around the height of the French Wars of Religion, Claudius’ policy was associated with the sale of offices in contemporary France, with the apparent intention of blackening, by implication, the new monarch Henry IV.
