Ancient Rome 22-30 AD "Divus Augustus" Tiberius Copper As Very Fine (VF20)
Tiberius (42 BCE–37 CE) was the second emperor of Rome, ruling from 14 to 37 CE as the successor of his stepfather, Augustus. A capable general before becoming emperor, he expanded and secured Rome’s frontiers in Germania and the Balkans, earning respect for his military skill. As emperor, however, Tiberius was more cautious and reserved, preferring stability over conquest, and he strengthened the empire’s administrative systems. His later years were marked by increasing withdrawal from public life, retiring to Capri, and growing reliance on ambitious advisers such as Sejanus, whose treachery fueled political purges in Rome. Though his reign maintained the empire’s prosperity, Tiberius’s aloofness and harsh reputation left him remembered as a grim and often unpopular ruler.
