Comment
Magistrate of Gaius Pompeius Capella (duovir for the second time) and Gaius Valerius Tranquillus (duovir).
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, and this coin may have been used to pay for some of these projects. Additionally, the coin's inscription, "MVN AVGVSTA BILBILIS G POM CAPE II G VALE TRANQ II VIR," suggests that it was minted in the city of Bilbilis, which was located in the Roman province of Tarraconensis (modern-day Spain).
