| Beschrijving keerzijde | The large senatorial authorization mark S·C (Senatus Consulto — 'by decree of the Senate') dominates the reverse field in bold, deeply incised letters, a standard feature of Julio-Claudian aes coinage affirming senatorial control over bronze issues. The abbreviated imperial titulature of Caligula encircles the design in a continuous legend along the periphery, reading from left to right. The field is otherwise plain, with no additional decorative elements or exergual markings. The overall design is typical of Roman imperial bronzes of the Tiberian-Caligulan transition period. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Struck under Caligula in the first year of his reign, this dupondius honors his brothers Nero and Drusus Caesar, both destroyed by Sejanus during Tiberius's paranoid final decade. Nero died in exile on Ponza in 31 AD, likely starved; Drusus was imprisoned in a cellar of the Palatine and died in 33 AD. Caligula's rehabilitation of their memory was immediate and deliberate — the issues were part of a broader programmatic coinage restoring the Julio-Claudian dynastic line after the shadow of Sejanus.
RIC I 34 is among the more frequently encountered of Caligula's posthumous dynastic types, suggesting sustained production through 37 and into 38.
