RIC I, pg 112, #57 (Gaius)
Son of Drusus, adopted by Tiberius, Father of Caligula, Germanicus Caesar was (by accounts) loved by his legions and the people of Rome. Germanicus carried out punitive actions against the Germans for their part in the Varus ambush, in which the 17th, 18th, and 19th legions were almost decimated to a man. Germanicus's campaign recovered 2 of the 3 lost Eagle stantards from the lost legions. This coin depicts the triumph given to Germanicus and celebrates the recovery of the lost eagle standards.SoxfanApr 07, 2011

"This coin seems to have been struck to express joy of the people or Rome (P.R.) under the government of Hadrian. It is useless to attempt to refer such coins to any particular year or event in the reign of Hadrian, for, being all marked COS. III., they may range through the whole period; but I consider them as appropriate to a return of Hadrian to Rome, especially in the early part of his career" - Records of Roman History collected by Francis HoblerSoxfanFeb 04, 2011
