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 military campaigns and his efforts to stabilize the Roman Empire after the death of his adoptive father and predecessor, Augustus. The coin's design and inscription, including the use of the Latin name "Tiberius" and the title "MN SVLP LVCAN M SEMP FRONT," reflect the imperial ideology and propaganda of the time, which aimed to promote the image of a strong and powerful Roman leader.
