I share this same dupondius from my almost-complete 12 Caesars collection:


I'm still looking for the elusive Tiberius sestertius (portrait, imperial mint) as one of the three coins needed to complete my collection.

Tiberius' coins tend to be uninspired and, let's face it, downright boring. This dupondius is a pleasant deviation from that sameness. While it's commonly believed that the face in the center of the reverse is also Tiberius, I've noted that not all references to this coin agree with this interpretation.

 

That is a wonderful Tiberius dupondius. Is it that dark in hand?

 

Thanks for reactions, Wow nice coin you are show methat one is mutch beter then mine Super you can see the letters good, Yes it has a dark toning

 

Nice coin ro and nice dark patina. And that's a beautiful coin IdesOfMarch01!

 

Wow ro1974, that's a fantastic coin!! (congrats)

 

Cool coins. Really like the details on the reverse.

 

Nice! I like this type a lot. I made a bid for one with the MODERATIONI reverse legend in a recent auction but fell far far short of what it eventually hammered. Ah well, one day, perhaps...

 

Indeed someday you have more luck i think they are not so rare to get one.

 

that is an great coin... man i LOVE the reverse.

 

Super nice ro, cool reverse, i like it..

 

Retaken picture
Not good

 

Nice tiberius. I am still looking for a Tiberius denarius for my twelve caesars.

 

Iam looking for a Otho

 

I have given up on a 12 Caesar's set. Too expensive for me
Its just a Siliqua and LRB diet for me.
Nice coin Ro.
If I remember correctly, when Tiberius died in 37 CE, the crowds in Rome chanted "To the Tiber with Tiberius"

 

You're that old?

 

Of course. Tiberius and I went way back.

 

You pervert!!!! (as based on the Caligula movie of years gone by)

 

That was all him, I swear

Caligula, man that was an "interesting" movie
