Comment
Magistrate of Lucius Iuventius Lupercus (duovir) and Tiberius Clodius Flavus (praefectus of Germanicus and duovir).
Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it features an image of Augustus, the first Roman Emperor, on one side, and a depiction of Flavus and Lupercus, two mythical twin brothers, on the other side. This coin was minted during Augustus' reign, which lasted from 27 BC to 14 AD, and it was used as a means of promoting his image and legacy throughout the Roman Empire.
