| Additional information |
Struck at Rome during Tiberius's tribunician year XXII, this dupondius falls within the years immediately following the death of Germanicus in 19 AD — a moment of acute dynastic tension, with Tiberius under open suspicion from the Roman public and Senate alike. The PONT MAXIM legend asserts his pontifical authority at a time when his political position, though constitutionally secure, was anything but stable in popular perception.
Orichalcum dupondii of Tiberius are often found with flan irregularities; the Rome mint's output under his reign was inconsistent in blank preparation compared to Augustan-era standards.
