Gaius Caesar, Antiochia ad Maeandrum, Caria, 1 B.C. - 4 A.D.
|Caius| |&| |Lucius|, |Gaius| |Caesar,| |Antiochia| |ad| |Maeandrum,| |Caria,| |1| |B.C.| |-| |4| |A.D.|, The bare-headed young portrait is Gaius Julius Caesar, not Augustus. In this period, Augustus would be expected to wear a wreath, as he does on the other coins from this city. The youthful image better fits the younger man, who was both his grandson and adoptive son. Many cities issued coins for Gaius after he was made army commander in the East in 1 B.C. The winged caduceus commemorates the peace treaty he made that year with Phraates V. Attribution to Antioch on the Meander is likely but not entirely certain.
