| Reverse description | Gaius and Lucius Caesar depicted standing facing, togati, with military shields resting at their sides and spears held upright. Between them at the top, a simpulum appears to the right and a lituus to the left, symbols of their priestly offices. The two heirs are presented as equals in a symmetrical composition emphasizing dynastic succession. The reverse legend surrounds the design in two tiers, identifying the princes by name and title. The scene conveys Augustus's dynastic intentions, presenting his grandsons and adopted sons as the designated leaders of Roman youth and future consuls. |
