I&#039;m guessing we will never know for sure.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1134171[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>&nbsp;Fourree</p><p>Ruler: Tiberius (Augustus)</p><p>Coin: Bronze/Silver Fourree Denarius Fourree</p><p>TI CAESAR DIVI AVG F AVGVSTVS - Laureate head right</p><p>PONTIF MAXIM - Livia, as Pax, holding branch and sceptre, seated right; plain legs to chair with double line below.</p><p>Mint: Lugdunum (Lyon) mint (18-35AD)</p><p>Wt./Size/Axis: 2.80g / 19mm / 360</p><p>Rarity: Common</p><p>References:&nbsp; &nbsp; </p><p>RIC 1 30 (c), Group 4 (official)</p><p>BMCRE I 48 (official)</p><p>RSC II 16a (official)</p><p>SRCV I 1763 (official)</p><p>Giard Lyon, Group 4, 150</p><p>Acquisition/Sale:&nbsp; &nbsp; numismatellusstabilit Ebay $0.00 12/17</p><p>Notes:&nbsp; &nbsp; Jun 13, 18 - The Gary R.
