Interesting fact

The Tiberius coin from Sexi (Baetica) was part of a series of coins issued during the reign of Tiberius (14-37 AD) to promote the Roman Empire's agricultural policies. The coin's design features a depiction of the Roman goddess Ceres, who was associated with agriculture and fertility, on the obverse (front side), and a representation of the Roman Empire's coat of arms on the reverse (back side). This coin was likely used in everyday transactions and circulated widely throughout the empire, promoting the idea of Roman prosperity and abundance.
