Augustus. 27 BC-AD 14. AR Denarius (18mm, 3.80 g, 9h). Lugdunum (Lyon) mint. Struck 8 BC. Laureate head right / Caius Caesar on horseback galloping right, holding sword and reins; to left, aquila right between two signa. RIC I 199; Lyon 69; RSC 40. Attractive iridescent toning. EF.

From the Bem Jamin Collection.

In 17 BC, Augustus adopted the sons of Agrippa and Julia, Caius and Lucius, as his heirs. This coin commemorates Caius’ accompaniment of Tiberius on the latter’s campain against the Germanic Sicambri. Although Caius was still only twelve years old at the time and must have had little to do with the actual affairs of the campaign, this issue depicts the explicitly-named “son of Augustus” heroically charging into battle.
