Hey guys! I got this in a lot and it was labeled: AS Emerita, Tiberio JZ, Rv. Puertas. Lugdunum? (I think the first 3 things are Spanish, puertas = doors?) I searched acsearch for Tiberius, Doors, and altar and Lugundum in various ways and I couldn't come up with anything. It's pretty big (As) at 28mm. If I had to guess it was like people standing on a balcony in a theatre? Any help would be appreciated, thanks!
here is a copy and paste from AC search EMERITA. As. Tiberio. A/ Cabeza laureada de Tiberio a izq; ly.: TI CAESAR AVGVSTVS PON MAX IMP. R/ Puerta; ly.: COL AVGVSTA EMERITA. VB-3408e. AB-1056. Pát. oscura. 14,84 g. MBC+ Roman Provincial Hispania, Emerita. Tiberius. A.D. 14-37. Æ 28 (27.6 mm, 11.93 g, 1 h). TI CAESAR AVGVSTVS PON MAX IMP, bare head left / COL AVGVSTA EMERITA, city gate and walls. ACIP 3408e; RPC 42. aVF.
Xodus, it's from Emerita not Lugdunum and you can find a nice example of it on Wildwinds. Below is their photo and description. Tiberius, AE of Emerita, Spain. AD 14-37. TI CAESAR AVGVSTVS PON MAX IMP, laureate head left. AVGVSTA EMERITA inscribed on the main city gate, with aerial view of city walls above. RPC 41; ACIP 3407a.
@Victor_Clark & @Theoderic thank you so much! I can't tell you how long I spent looking for this lol.
I don't think so...my Clark side has been in Tennessee for generations. My first LRB's were purchased from Guy after I saw his ad in the Celator.

Oh, okay. I misunderstood what you meant by the title of this thread. I was going to suggest that you flip the coin over.
