Interesting fact

One interesting fact about this coin is that it features an image of Tiberius, the Roman emperor who ruled from 14 AD to 37 AD, on one side, and an image of Pietas, the goddess of duty and devotion, on the other side. This coin was minted during Tiberius' reign and was used as a means of circulating currency throughout the Roman Empire.
