Comment
Magistrate of Lucius Iuventius Lupercus (duovir) and Tiberius Clodius Flavus (praefectus of Germanicus and duovir).
Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it features the image of Augustus, the first Roman Emperor, on one side, and the inscription "C C A TIB CLOD FLAVO PRAEF GERMAN L IVVENT LVP II VIR" on the other, which stands for "Gaius Caesar Augustus, son of the divine Julius, pontifex maximus, holder of the tribunician power, great priest of the Ludi Saeculares, twice consul" in Latin. This coin was minted in Caesaraugusta (modern-day Zaragoza, Spain) during Augustus' reign (8 BC - 1 BC) and made of bronze, weighing 11.76 grams.
