Comment
Magistrate of Sejanus (consul and honorary duovir) and Tiberius Caesar (consul for the fifth time).
Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it features an image of the Roman emperor Tiberius, who ruled from 14 AD to 37 AD. Tiberius was known for his extensive public works projects, including the construction of roads, bridges, and buildings, and this coin may have been used to pay for some of these projects. Additionally, the coin's inscription, "AVG BILBILIS TI CAESARE V L AELIO SEIANO COS," indicates that it was minted in the city of Bilbilis, which was located in the Roman province of Tarraconensis (modern-day Spain).
