| Beschrijving keerzijde | Gaius Caesar on horseback galloping right, depicted in military attire and raising his right hand in a gesture of salute or command. Two legionary standards are shown in the field to the left, emphasizing the martial and dynastic themes of the design. The legend C CAES AVGVS F appears in the upper field, identifying the equestrian figure as Gaius Caesar, son of Augustus. The mint name AVGVS F appears in the exergue, with the full mint signature reading as part of the reverse legend distribution consistent with RIC I 199. The scene presents Gaius as a future military leader and heir apparent, underscoring Augustus's succession plans. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Struck at Lugdunum (modern Lyon) during a period when Augustus was methodically positioning his grandsons as dynastic heirs, this denarius was issued the same year Gaius Caesar — then roughly ten years old — was formally introduced to public life. The Lugdunum mint dominated silver output for the western empire at this point, having effectively supplanted Rome for official imperial coinage. Gaius would die in 4 AD from wounds sustained during a minor siege in Lycia, derailing the succession entirely and forcing Augustus to turn to the unpopular Tiberius.
