Struck under Tiberius in 22–23 AD, this dupondius belongs to a group issued ostensibly in Augustus's name as part of the sustained posthumous commemoration program that Tiberius used to anchor his own legitimacy. The SC — Senatus Consulto — reflects the Senate's formal authority over base-metal coinage, a constitutional arrangement Augustus himself had engineered decades earlier to give the Senate a visible, if largely ceremonial, role in the monetary system.
RIC I 77 is among the better-documented issues from the Lugdunum mint output of this period, struck well after Augustus's death in 14 AD.
