Interesting fact
The Hemidrachm coin from Lappa (Cyrenaica and Crete) featuring Tiberius (14-37 AD) is notable for its unique design. On one side, it features the image of Tiberius, while on the other, it depicts a representation of the goddess Aphrodite. This combination of a Roman emperor and a Greek deity highlights the blending of cultures that occurred during the Roman Empire's expansion into Greek territories.
