Tiberius. Denarius; Tiberius; 14-37 AD, Lugdunum, 15-16 AD, Denarius, 7.53g. Paris-9, pl. I (same dies); Giard, Lyon-123 (only the Paris spec.); cf. C-45 (60 Fr.). Obv: TI CAESAR DIVI - AVG F AVGVSTVS Head laureate r. Rx: IMP VII in exergue, TR POT XVII above, Tiberius holding branch and eagle-tipped scepter in triumphal quadriga r.; two of the four horses turn their heads back. A rare variety of this type, with two of the horses looking back rather than forward. Only one specimen of such an aureus, from the same dies as ours, was known to Giard, and this variant was not recorded on either an aureus or a denarius by BMC or the revised RIC I. This reverse type commemorated the triumph celebrated by Tiberius in January 13 AD, late in the reign of Augustus, for successes over the Germans that he had won the year before.. VF
