As - Tiberius C V T DRVSVS CAES TRIB POT IVL AVGVSTA

Struck at Tarraco during the lifetime of both Drusus Caesar and Livia (here named as Julia Augusta, the title she received on Augustus's death in 14 AD), this as captures a precise political moment: Tiberius consolidating dynastic legitimacy through his son and mother simultaneously. Drusus died the following year, in 23 AD, almost certainly poisoned by Sejanus — making the issue window exceptionally narrow.

Tarraco was the senior Roman colony in Hispania and held the right to mint bronze provincially. The pairing of Drusus with Livia on a single issue from this mint is unusual and was not widely replicated elsewhere in the western provinces.
