Not all coins of Augusti show the Caesar but many do. Some were Caesar but never got promoted to Augustus (Aelius and Crispus for example). More often, however, we see Caesar coins of young rulers who were later made Augustus (Titus, Domitian, Aurelius, Commodus, Caracalla, Geta and more). In the beginning Caesar was a family name but after the Julio Claudians, it became a title meaning of the Imperial family. I'm not sure we should think of Caesar as a junior title. What made it junior was the lack of the word Augustus following it.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
