Interesting fact
The coin , the As - Tiberius (14-37) from Calagurris (Tarraconensis) made of Bronze weighing 11.41g, is a rare example of a Roman coin that was minted outside of Rome. The Calagurris mint was located in the Roman province of Tarraconensis, which is now modern-day Spain. This coin is a testament to the spread of Roman influence and trade throughout the empire, and it's fascinating to think about the journey this coin may have taken from the mint in Spain to other parts of the empire.
