Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it features an 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 design also includes the inscription "CLEMENTE ET LVCRETIO C C A II VIR," which translates to "By the clemency and virtue of the second consul." This suggests that the coin was issued to commemorate Tiberius's second consulship, which he held in 21 AD.
