Comment
Magistrate of Lucius Licinius Varus (duovir) and Marcus Sempronius Tiberi(anus?) (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 an image of Tiberius, his adopted son and successor, on the other side. This coin was minted during a time when Augustus was still alive, and Tiberius was still his successor, making it a unique piece of history that captures the transition of power between the two leaders. Additionally, the coin's bronze material and 5.86g weight make it a valuable collector's item for numismatists.
