A building mentioned by Tacitus: The temple of the deified Augustus, an undertaking for dynastic reasons alone, Tiberius must have felt himself committed, and which he did bring to fruition before his death in 37 A.D. For years the “Caligula sacrificing before hexastyle temple has been identified as the temple of “DIVVS Augustus” the area of the temple lays in the unexplored area to the south of the Basilica Julia. No remains of it have been recorded, but it is usually identified as an Ionic hexastyle building which figures prominently on the coinage of Caligula. A less generally accepted, but not unattractive, suggestion is that the buildings on the coins is the temple of Apollo Palatinus, another building which has very close associations with Augustus; and that for the temple of DIVUS Augustus we have to look to a coin type which makes its appearance during the last few years of Tiberius' life, between 34-37 and which is usually interpreted as a representation of the Temple of Concord. What the conventional view leaves unexplained is why the latter building, in A.D. 12 , should have been so singled out for representation a quarter of a century later; nor can there be much doubt that the Ionic treatment of the facade of the temple featured on Caligulan coins accords better of what we know of somewhat experimental architecture of the early years of Augustus' reign than what we know of the tastes of the ageing Tiberius. The accepted type for the temple is not without its difficulties, but I think this should be looked further into.

Interesting and very hotly debated. Was this wonderful aes series struck under Caligula or Tiberius?

Even the as stuck under Caligula for 41 A.D. shows my point of him possibly balding as the dates progress from 37-41 A.D

This is a very important issue, struck under Tiberius. It is the only accepted (because of the inscription) pre-accession issue we have of Gaius Caligula, there are no accepted portraits in the round or on any other numismatics. For problems with the dating of Tiberian Coinage see RPC and A. Banti and L. Simonetti, Corpus Nummorum Romanorum (XIII Florence: 1977 pp. 141-50 deal with dating to 34 A.D. (Pollini JWAG, note 28 for more explanation. Also: "Aspects of the Principate of Tiberius", Historical comments on the Colonial coinage issued outside Spain, Michael Grant- The American Numismatic Society - Numismatic Notes and Monographs(1950) There are some issues with inscriptions and dating in Banti Simonetti. Dated to 32-33 A.D.? There are many candidates for a portrait of Caligula in the round, but no scholar will attest to the fact due to no inscribed base or inscription being found with sculpture. Therefore, this coin is very important to portrait specialists. It reminds me of the importance of numismatics in all portrait disciplines, unfortunately this issue is usually found with a crude type portrait for Caligula, and is of little help with hairstyle and physiognomy.

Guten Tag!

http://s14.directupload.net/images/140108/cehpbzpd.png

Habe nur die Ausführung PIUS VI. (Giovanni Angelo Braschi), 1775-1799 gefunden.

Kann mir jemand weiterhelfen?

Viele Grüße

Der Kopf nach links ist RIC 307! Im UBS-Katalog steht RIC 306.

This coin is a cast fake.

Why is this coin referred to as the seige of gibraltar when in the U.S.A. Stacks calls it the treaty of Versailles supporting the American Revolution? It seems odd and suspicious of Stacks.

Awaiting a response from anyone. Also, Stacks says the Medalist Leonard Oexlin designed this coin. What?
