<p>[QUOTE=&quot;cmezner, post: 26647265, member: 87809&quot;]An uncommon issue (not rare - just uncommon) of Tiberius from a multiple lot:</p><p><br /></p><p>AE 24</p><p>10.280 g, 2h</p><p>Hispania Tarraconensis, Calagurris Nassica Iulia, 14 - 37 AD</p><p>Lucius Fulvius Sparsus and Lucius Saturninus duoviri as can be read on the reverse legend: M(uncipium) C(alagurris) I(ulia) L(ucio) Ful(vio) Sparso L(ucio) Saturnino IIvir(i)</p><p><br /></p><p>RPC I, 448; Vives 159–5; Hill 37–1; Ruiz 24; GMI 692–3; Ripollès (Madrid, 2005) 2061; ACIP 3128; SNG Copenhagen 585; FAB 429</p><p><br /></p><p>For the legends TI AVGVS DIVI AVGVSTI F IMP CAESAR on the obverse and on the reverse M•C•I, names of duoviri and IIVIR L. FVL(vio) SPARSO, L. SATVRNINO (Pl. XXXVII, 1), Heiss notices the form of the titulature of Tiberius, in which IMP CAESAR comes at the end, and recalls the statement of Suetonius and Cassius Dio, that Tiberius would not use Imperator as a praenomen. The generalization (Mattingly, B.M.C., Rom. Emp.,I, p. lxvii.) that while “Augustus used &#039;Imperator&#039; as a praenomen, Tiberius, Caligula and Claudius abstained from its use entirely&quot; requires modification, in the light of these coins of Calagurris, and those of Caesaraugusta under Caligula; but of course, Spanish usage of Imperator may not have been strictly correct.</p><p><a href="http://numismatics.org/digitallibrary/ark:/53695/nnan86651" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://numismatics.org/digitallibrary/ark:/53695/nnan86651" rel="nofollow">http://numismatics.org/digitallibrary/ark:/53695/nnan86651</a></p><p><br /></p><p>Ob.: TI AVGVS DIVI AVGVSTI F IMP CAESAR (Tiberius Augustus, son of the divine Augustus, Imperator Caesar) Laureate head of Tiberius to r.</p><p>Rev.: <i>M•C•I</i> at left;<i> L•F<u>VL</u>•SPARSO</i> above bull standing to r.; II VIR before; and <i>L•S<u>AT</u>VRNINO </i>below.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1699842[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1699843[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
