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 inscription, "CLEMENS ET LVCRETIVS C C A II VIR," refers to Tiberius' titles, including "Clemens," meaning "merciful," and "Lucretivs," meaning "of the people." This coin is a rare and valuable artifact that provides insight into the Roman Empire's history and the life of Tiberius.
