Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was minted during the reign of Tiberius, who was the second Roman Emperor and ruled from 14 AD to 37 AD. The coin's inscription, "TI CAESAR DIVI AVG F AVGVST IMP VIII," indicates that Tiberius was considered a divine emperor and was the eighth emperor of the Roman Empire. Additionally, the coin's minting location in Utica, Africa Proconsularis, suggests that the Roman Empire had a strong presence in North Africa during this time period.
