    Really no one wants to tell me who these 2 emperors are, of which one, in my opinion, Augustos, and the second Gaius, Julius Caesar?

    Way to project ;)
    I don't want to tell you that. But I can't speak for anyone else. I don't think that's whose on your coin but better pictures weight and size would help clear that up

    To be honest, I don't think the coin is in good enough condition to make that call. It could potentially be any number of provincials which have a bust on the reverse and obverse. In my opinion, they don't look like Augustus and Julius Caesar and what little remnant of legend remains on one of the sides also doesn't seem to support that hypothesis... just my $0.02.

    What makes you think it is? Your example is of a restitution issue - RPC I, 1555 (ox.ac.uk) - with yours appearing to have a legend where that does not.

    TBH, Not really for a member whose primary contribution to the board is solely 'ID Help'.

    But since you seem impatient and slightly desperate...

    The 1st photo sings to me of Tiberius, but the coin is such a 'slug', it's fairly improbable to have any sort of definitive answer.

    In that case, it can be whatever two figures you want it to be.

    This coin is not Gaius Julius Caesar and you are right about that. But who is depicted there together with Actavian Augustus I do not understand. The weight of the coin is about 9 grams.
