Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it features an image of the Roman emperor Tiberius, who ruled from 14 AD to 37 AD. Tiberius was known for his extensive public works projects, including the construction of roads, bridges, and buildings, as well as his military campaigns in Germany and Britain. He also implemented a number of important legal reforms, including the creation of a uniform Roman law code. Despite his achievements, Tiberius's reign was also marked by political intrigue and the rise of the Praetorian Guard, a powerful group of elite soldiers who served as the emperor's personal bodyguards.
