Tiberius As I believe was Mis-Attributed: Won in an auction recently, the attribution by a reputable auction house seems to be in error. Upon close physical inspection, the obverse inscription clearly includes: "IMP VIII." The reverse inscription can be seen to be: "PONTIF MAX TR POT XXXIIX S-C". I believe the correct attribution to be AD 36-37, RIC 64. The original descriptive tag is included; you decide.TaoFeb 13, 2015
