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 strengthen the Roman state. The coin's design and inscription, including the abbreviation "L LICINIVS IIVIR" (Licinius, son of Licinius, four times consul), provide valuable information about the Roman Empire's administration and governance during Tiberius' reign. Additionally, the fact that it was minted in Paestum, a city in the Roman province of Italy, highlights the extent of Roman influence and trade in the region during that time.
