Ex Robert O. Ebert Collection, Stack's Bowers and Ponterio 173, 11 January 2013, lot 5424.
This type recalls the aureus issued under Augustus in commemoration of Tiberius' triumphal procession upon his return to Rome, awarded on account of his successful campaigns in Germany and Pannonia. It was on this occasion that Tiberius' rank and powers were made equal to those of Augustus himself, an act which ensured that upon the passing of Augustus there would be no interregnum, and that Tiberius would continue to rule without possible upheaval.
