| Reverse description | Confronted or back-to-back jugate bare heads of Gaius Caesar and Lucius Caesar, the grandsons and designated heirs of Augustus, enclosed within a laurel wreath. The wreath frames the two portraits symmetrically, emphasizing their equal dynastic status. The abbreviated legend D F (Divi filii, or more likely Duumviri designation) appears in the field flanking the central design. The reverse composition reflects the deliberate dynastic propaganda of the Augustan period, promoting the succession of the imperial heirs. The surfaces show significant wear and green encrustation obscuring fine detail. |
