Summary
Copper As of Tiberius struck during his 17th year of holding the Tribunitian power (15-16 AD), Ancient Roman Empire. Minted by Rome. When this coin was struck the Rome mint was responsible for the production of most Imperial copper and bronze coinage, although at this early stage of the Empire many regional base metal coinages were being struck for local use. Precious-metal coins were then being struck at Lugdunum in Gaul.
