This carefully crafted reproduction depicts the portrait of Emperor Tiberius Caesar Augustus, adorned with classical Roman attire, emphasizing his dignified profile crowned with a laurel wreath, a symbol of imperial honor and authority. The Latin inscription "TI CAESAR DIVI AVG F AVGVST PM TR POT XXIIII" refers explicitly to Tiberius' lineage as the adopted son of Augustus and highlights his political status, including his power as Pontifex Maximus and tribunician power, which were vital titles for legitimizing imperial authority during the early Roman Empire.
On the reverse side, the coin dramatically showcases a detailed depiction of the Temple of Divus Augustus, capturing a historical religious ceremony. The central figure represents Pietas, the divine personification of piety and familial devotion, depicted seated while making an offering. Two assistants accompany the central figure, reinforcing the ceremonial importance of ancestral worship and religious rituals within Roman culture. The detailed relief, complemented by the inscription "DIVO AVG S C", illustrates the coin's original purpose—celebrating Tiberius' dedication of the temple to Augustus in AD 37. As a meticulously crafted modern reproduction, this piece allows collectors and enthusiasts alike a tangible connection to ancient Roman culture, religion, and governance.
