| Beschrijving keerzijde | Jugate or side-by-side confronted busts of Gaius Caesar and Lucius Caesar, grandsons and heirs-designate of Augustus, both facing right. The two youthful portraits are rendered in a simplified provincial style, their heads positioned centrally within the field. The encircling Latin legend C L CAESARES AVG F — identifying them as sons of Augustus — is partially preserved around the periphery. The reverse design reflects the Augustan dynastic propaganda promoting the two princes as successors to the imperial throne. The coin exhibits a dark green patina with surface porosity characteristic of Bithynian provincial bronzes. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Apamea in Bithynia had a complicated relationship with Roman authority — the city lost its status as a Roman colony and saw its civic privileges contested more than once under Augustus. This issue naming Gaius and Lucius Caesar as *Augusti Filius* dates to the period of their active promotion as heirs, most likely between 2 BC and 4 AD, when both boys held the title *princeps iuventutis*. Lucius died in 2 AD at Massilia; Gaius followed in 4 AD from wounds sustained in Armenia, ending the dynastic program these coins were minted to advertise.
