The imperial ladies were given the privileges of Vestals (though without imposing their duties on them). a. Sacrosanctitas, the ius trium liberorum (which gave them legal independence and the possibility of managing their own property), and finally the extraordinary right to travel in a carcass, which is exhibited on the averse of this issue. This sestertius belongs to the great dynastic emission of 22-23 which associates with Tiberius, the divine Augustus, his wife Julia Augusta who is also the mother of the emperor and Drusus, the son of Tiberius. On this occasion, Livie received the right to move in the city with a carpentum. The carpentum was a two-wheeled car, covered with a hood whose curtains were closed and normally pulled by two mules. It could contain two or three people and was the means of locomotion of matrons and women of distinction described by ancient authors. It is also a burial car intended for empresses or ceremonial cars (Suetonius: Caligula 15, Claude 11).
