Comment
Source: Online Coins of the Roman Empire (OCRE)Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it features the portrait of both Augustus and Tiberius, indicating that it was issued during the period of their co-rule (13-14 AD). This was a unique period in Roman history where two emperors ruled together, with Augustus being the senior emperor and Tiberius being the junior emperor. This coin is a rare example of a coin that was issued during this brief period of co-rule.
