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 military campaigns and his efforts to stabilize the Roman Empire after the death of his adoptive father and predecessor, Augustus. The coin's design and inscription, including the abbreviation "L LICINI IIVIR" (which stands for "Licinius, son of Licinius, of the tribe of Julius"), provide valuable information about the coin's origins and the political context in which it was minted.
