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. The coin's design and inscription, including the abbreviation "TI CLAVDIVS" for Tiberius' name, provide valuable insight into the political and cultural climate of the time. Additionally, the fact that it was minted in Gades (modern-day Cadiz, Spain) highlights the importance of this city as a center of trade and commerce in the Roman Empire.
