Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it features the image of Tiberius, who was the second Roman Emperor and ruled from 14 AD to 37 AD. He was known for his administrative and military reforms, and his reign marked the beginning of the Roman Empire's expansion into Germany and the East. The coin's design, which includes Tiberius' name and title, as well as the image of a Roman goddess, reflects the imperial propaganda and ideology of the time, which aimed to promote the Roman state and its rulers as powerful and divine figures.
