Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was minted during the reign of Tiberius, who was the second Roman Emperor and ruled from 14 AD to 37 AD. Tiberius was known for his extensive public works projects, including the construction of roads, bridges, and buildings, which helped to strengthen the Roman Empire. The coin's minting location, Emerita (Lusitania), was an important city in the Roman province of Lusitania, which is now modern-day Spain. The coin's bronze composition and weight of 12.04 grams also reflect the standard circulation coinage of the Roman Empire during this time period.
