[QUOTE="Curtis, post: 24757527, member: 26430"]There is a long-standing debate about who is seated on the reverse (another debate is whether that's reverse) of this Divus Augustus Dupondius, struck under Caligula. One bit of support for it being Caligula might be that he is seated on a curule, whereas might expect Augustus to be on a throne. (From the 2nd coin below, however, we have to ask how universal that depiction of Div. Aug. was.) My specimen: [IMG]https://www.cointalk.com/attachments/divus-augustus-dupondius-gaius-caligula-jpg.1496946/[/IMG] [INDENT]Ex Divus Augustus AE Dupondius (30mm, 16.57 g, 6h) struck in Rome under Caligula, ca. 37-41. Ex Archer Huntington (1870-1955), ANS & HSA Collections (Acc. No. 1001.1.22981)[/INDENT] Note, however, that on the "restitution issue" of the type above (Tiberius Sestertius w Augustus on throne) under Titus, Divus Augustus is shown seated on a curule. Here is the British Museum specimen: [ATTACH=full]1583555[/ATTACH] [INDENT][URL]https://numismatics.org/ocre/id/ric.2_1(2).tit.403[/URL] (BM 1924.0308, 25)[/INDENT] Was the depiction of Div. Aug. on curule rather than throne a change specific to the Flavian period somehow? Or are there such depictions (not necessarily numismatic) in the Julio-Claudian period as well? And did the Flavians give him a throne in any other depictions?[/QUOTE]
