Comment
Magistrate of Gaius Pomponius Parra (duovir), Gaius Caesaris (duovir) and Iunianus Lupus (praefectus).
Interesting fact
This coin features a unique combination of Latin inscriptions that highlight Tiberius' imperial titles and family connections. The inscription "IVNIANO LVPO" likely refers to his adoption as heir by Augustus, while "PR G CAESAR" indicates his status as Princeps and Caesar. Additionally, "G POMPON PARRA" may allude to his marriage to Julia Augusta, daughter of Marcus Piso. The coin's weight of 18.49 g is slightly above average for Roman bronze coins, suggesting it may be a higher denomination or minted during a period of economic stability.
