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 image of Tiberius, his adopted son and successor, on the other side. This coin was minted during the reign of Tiberius, and it highlights the importance of the Roman imperial succession and the efforts of Tiberius to associate himself with his illustrious predecessor.
