| 表面の説明 |
Bare head of Augustus facing right, rendered in the idealized portraiture style characteristic of Augustan provincial coinage. The emperor's features are firmly modeled, with a calm, authoritative expression. The Latin legend CAESAR CORINT is disposed around the field, identifying the subject and the issuing colony. The flan is slightly irregular, typical of hammered provincial bronzes of this period. |
| 裏面の説明 |
Confronted, jugate bare busts of Gaius Caesar and Lucius Caesar, the adopted heirs of Augustus, facing one another in the field. The two princes are depicted in youthful, idealized fashion, their portraits closely rendered to convey dynastic solidarity. The encircling Latin legend names the duoviri quinquennales responsible for the issue: C SERVILIO C F PRIMO M ANTONIO HIPPARCHO IIVIR C L, referencing the magistrates Caius Servilius, son of Caius, and Marcus Antonius Hipparchus. The reverse underscores the colonial civic administration of Corinth and the emperor's intention to promote his heirs as future rulers. |
