Comment
The reverse refers to the cult of Augusti Providentia said to have a dedicated altar in Emerita.Interesting fact
The Tiberius coin from Emerita (Lusitania) was part of a series of coins issued during the Roman Empire's "Roman Provincial" period, which lasted from 14 AD to 37 AD. These coins were minted in various provinces across the empire, and they often featured images of Roman emperors, gods, and goddesses, as well as other symbols and motifs. The fact that this coin was made of bronze and weighs 12.36 grams suggests that it was a circulating coin, used for everyday transactions and commerce.
