Augustus (27 BC-AD 14). AV aureus (19mm, 7.84 gm, 3h). NGC AU 5/5 - 2/5, brushed. Lugdunum, 8 BC. AVGVSTVS-DIVI•F, laureate head of Augustus right / C•CAES / AVGVS•F, Gaius Caesar on horse leaping right, reins in right hand, sword and shield in left; aquila right between two standards in background. RIC I 198. Calicó 174. Superb portrait on satiny flan.
In 8 BC, Augustus introduced his twelve-year-old grandson and adopted son Gaius Caesar to the Roman army in Gaul. The bulla around Gaius' neck signifies that he was still a child and had not yet assumed the toga of manhood (J. Pollini, Gaius Caesar on horseback, Museum Notes 30, 1985).
