| Beschrijving keerzijde | The Ara Romae et Augusti at Lugdunum (modern Lyon), depicted as a large altar with its front face decorated with a corona civica (civic crown of oak leaves) flanked by nude male figures on either side. The altar is surmounted by steps and crowned by a decorated entablature, and is flanked on each side by a tall column bearing a figure of Victory holding a wreath. The abbreviated dedicatory legend ROM ET AVG appears in the field, referencing the cult of Rome and Augustus to which the altar was consecrated. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
This sestertius was struck at Lugdunum — modern Lyon — during the final years of Augustus's reign, with Tiberius named as issuer in recognition of his role as heir-designate following his formal adoption in AD 4. The altar depicted on the reverse was a real structure, dedicated to Roma and Augustus in 12 BC by Drusus, erected at the confluence of the Rhône and Saône as the focal point of the new provincial cult and an annual gathering of sixty Gallic tribes.
Lugdunum issues of this period are frequently distinguished from Rome mint products by their distinctive die axis and fabric. The altar type would continue under Claudius in near-identical form.
