<p>[QUOTE=&quot;cmezner, post: 8651612, member: 87809&quot;]On these issues, Gaius, the elder of the two brothers has his shield placed in front of that of his younger brother and the ladle above him marks him as Pontifex. Lucius has the <i>lituus </i>above marking him as augur. On your denarius it seems to be the other way, i. e. Lucius shield is placed in front of the shield of his elder brother.</p><p><br /></p><p>Lugdunum (Lyon), ca. 2 BC – 4/5 AD</p><p>17 x 19 mm, 3.779 g</p><p>RIC I² 207; RSC-43</p><p>Ob.: <i>CAESAR AVGVSTVS DIVI F PATER PATRIAE</i> Laureate head of Augustus to right</p><p>Rv.: <i>AVGVSTI F COS DESIG PRINC IVVENT</i>&nbsp; Gaius and Lucius Caesar togate standing facing, flanking two shields and scepters, simpulum and lituus above; in exergue <i>C L CAESARES</i> (Gaius and Lucius Caesar)</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1518763[/ATTACH] </p><p>[ATTACH=full]1518764[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
