Interesting fact
The Segóbriga coin featuring Tiberius (SEGOBRIGA) (14-37) is notable for its rare depiction of a Roman emperor with a beard. Tiberius, who ruled from 14 AD to 37 AD, was known for his stoic and austere personality, and his beard was seen as a symbol of his wisdom and maturity. The inclusion of this detail on the coin highlights the importance of the emperor's image and the desire to convey his authority and leadership through his appearance.
