[QUOTE="Mat, post: 1534584, member: 21445"]A new addition to my ancient collection. I have wanted a Tiberius for awhile but the tribute penny is just too pricey to me & cheaper examples were too porous or had horn silver. I went ahead with Randy's suggestion on a AE and was attracted to this. Mainly for the portrait, which is better in hand, and the reverse since I have NO ancients with standards as the main reverse. I found very little info on this type. I know there is a legend on the reverse & cant make it out. And the only example I found of this on Flickr didnt have the legend either. So any info is greatly appreciated. [IMG]http://i47.tinypic.com/wgw5mb.jpg[/IMG] Tiberius ( 14 - 37 A.D.) AE 'semis' Caesaraugusta, Spain Struck under Duovirs Sextus Aebutius and Lucius Lucretius.
