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, on one side, and an image of the goddess Graciilis on the other side. Graciilis was a minor Roman goddess associated with charm, grace, and beauty. The coin's design and imagery reflect the cultural and religious beliefs of the Roman Empire during Tiberius' reign.
