Tiberius was one of Rome's greatest generals; his conquests laid the foundations for the northern frontier. But he came to be remembered as a dark, reclusive, and sombre ruler who never really desired to be emperor; Pliny the Elder called him tristissimus hominum, "the gloomiest of men."
After the death of Tiberius’ son Drusus in 23 AD, he became more reclusive and aloof. In 26 AD he removed himself from Rome and left administration largely in the hands of his unscrupulous Praetorian Prefects.
Caligula, Tiberius' grand-nephew and adopted grandson, succeeded Tiberius upon his death.

The heads on the reverse are Nero Julius Caesar and Drusus Caesar, both sons of Germanicus, and adopted sons of Tiberius. Tiberius made it apparent that they were to succeed him, since his natural son "Drusus Julius Caesar" had died in 23 AD. History had other plans in mind of course.
The reverse translates to " Nero and Drusus, Caesars, Quinquennial (Duumvirs) of the Victorious Colony Julia Nova Carthago"

In 17 AD when Antiochus III of Commagene died, Tiberius annexed Commagene to the province of Syria. RIC is confident in the attribution to this mint, RPC is hesitant with Antioch being another possibility based on find evidence. RIC dates to 19-21 AD, whereas RPC goes with 19-20 AD.
