Summary

Copper As of Tiberius struck between his 36 th to 38th year of holding the Tribunitian power (35-37 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. The reverse design on this coin, winged caduceus, refers to successful communication around the empire.
