Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was minted during the reign of Tiberius, who was the second Roman Emperor and ruled from 14 AD to 37 AD. This coin was part of a series of coins minted during his reign, which featured images of various Roman gods and goddesses, as well as personifications of provinces and virtues. The obverse of the coin features the image of Tiberius, while the reverse features the personification of the province of Tarraconensis, which was located in modern-day Spain. The use of bronze in the production of this coin was a common practice during this time period, as it was a readily available and affordable material.
