| Additional information |
The altar depicted on this issue was the Ara Romae et Augusti at Lugdunum (modern Lyon), dedicated in 12 BC by Drusus the Elder as the central cult site for the sixty Gallic tribes. The date places this striking in the final two years of Augustus's reign, when Tiberius effectively governed much of the empire while his stepfather declined. Coins of this type were almost certainly circulated within Gaul itself, where the altar served as the administrative and religious focal point for the provincial assembly.
The Lugdunum mint issued this type continuously across several reigns, making precise attribution within the series genuinely difficult.
