| Beschrijving keerzijde | The Ara Romae et Augusti at Lugdunum (modern Lyon), depicted as a large rectangular altar with its front face decorated with a corona civica flanked by nude male figures on each side. The altar is surmounted by a ceremonial superstructure and is flanked on either side by a tall column, each topped by a winged Victory holding a wreath. The abbreviated legend ROM ET AVG appears in the field. The composition commemorates the imperial cult sanctuary established at the confluence of the Rhône and Saône, a major symbol of Roman authority over the three Gallic provinces. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
This small bronze was struck early in Tiberius's reign and is directly tied to the Altar of the Three Gauls at Lugdunum — the great federal sanctuary established by Drusus in 12 BC at the confluence of the Rhône and Saône, where representatives of sixty Gallic tribes gathered annually to perform the imperial cult. The altar functioned as Rome's primary instrument of ideological integration across the northern provinces, and its appearance on coinage was a pointed reminder of Augustan policy continuing under the new emperor.
RIC I #32 is among the more frequently encountered of the Tiberian quadrantes, yet decent survivors without heavy corrosion are not especially easy to place.
