Super coin @imperator. By the way, I'm glad someone else here quotes their Vagi books: Quote:
David Vagi notes "If you climb a good tree, you get a push."

"The danger we all now face is distinguishing between what is authentic and what is performed."

Would be a 'star' among the 2nd brass of any Roman collection.

What a beautiful coin with such a unique reverse.
Hard to believe the Senate would award anything to Tiberius considering what a bad Emperor he was.

A beautiful piece !
I have long wanted one myself but they are difficult to find without busting the budget.
I am going broke right now as it is but I have also selected Tiberius as one of the emperors to devote some extra resources on.
Hopefully I might find the right one before too long !
