Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it features an image of the Roman emperor Tiberius, who ruled from 14 AD to 37 AD, on one side, and the Greek goddess Athena on the other. This coin was minted during a time when the Roman Empire was expanding its territories and influence, and the inclusion of Athena on the coin may have been a nod to the cultural and religious practices of the people in the region where it was minted, Lycia et Pamphylia.
