Comment
Source: Online Coins of the Roman Empire (OCRE)Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it features an image of Tiberius, who was the second Roman Emperor and ruled from 14 AD to 37 AD. He was known for his extensive public works projects, including the construction of roads, bridges, and buildings, and for his military campaigns, particularly in Germany and Britain. The coin's inscription, "IMP T CAES DIVI VESP F AVG P M TR P P P COS VIII RESTITVIT," highlights his title as Emperor and his connection to the divine, as well as his role as Pontifex Maximus, or high priest. The coin's bronze material and standard circulation denomination suggest that it was widely used in everyday transactions throughout the Roman Empire during Tiberius' reign.
