Do you happen to know why the so-called Tribute Pennies of Tiberius are believed to have been minted in Lugdunum?
You're welcome, but I think once will be enough! I agree that the majority of comments have been very thoughtful and even empathetic, but there...
No, you didn't upset me. Although I don't think of myself as particularly logical; I'm much more of an intuitive thinker than someone who goes...

I have only two coins minted in Lugdunum. Augustus AR Denarius, 2 BCE-13 AD Lugdunum [Lyons] Mint. Obv. Laureate head right, CAESAR AVGVSTVS DIVI...
