Note See S. Frey-Kupper, ‘Germanicus und Drusus auf einer Münze von Panormos’, Schweizer Münzblätter 164 (1991), pp. 90-95, on RPC I, 5452 and its dating to AD 14-19. She interprets this coins as a half denomination corresponding to RPC 642-3, which can therefore be safely identified as Tiberius and Livia. -- See Martini, Sicilia nos. 308-25, with some countermarks.
