Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it features the image of Tiberius, who was the second Roman Emperor and ruled from 14 AD to 37 AD. He was known for his military campaigns and his efforts to stabilize the Roman Empire after the death of his adoptive father and predecessor, Augustus. The coin's inscription, "C V I N C NERO ET DRVSVS CAESARES QVINQ," translates to "Tiberius Caesar, son of the divine Augustus, fifth emperor." This coin is a rare and valuable artifact that provides insight into the Roman Empire's economy, politics, and culture during Tiberius' reign.
