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 public buildings, and for his military campaigns, particularly in Germany and Britain. The coin's inscription, "IMP T CAES DIVI VESP F AVG RESTITVIT," translates to "Emperor Caesar, son of the divine Vespasian, Augustus, restorer," highlighting Tiberius' connection to the divine and his role as a restorer of the Roman Empire.
