Interesting fact
The Semis coin , which features Tiberius (14-37) from Ilercavonia-Dertosa (Tarraconensis), is a rare example of a Roman bronze coin that was minted outside of Rome. The coin was likely produced in the province of Tarraconensis, which is now modern-day Spain, and features a unique blend of Roman and indigenous designs. This coin is a fascinating piece of history that highlights the cultural exchange and influence that occurred between the Roman Empire and the local populations of the provinces it conquered.
