Abstract
The commonest Augustan aurei and denarii show on the reverse Gaius and Lucius Caesar standing between shields and standards. Much has been conjectured about the exact date of the issue. It cannot have begun before 2 BC, the year in which Augustus accepted the title Pater Patriae and Lucius was designated for the consulship. The end is harder: Gaius held his consulship in AD 1. The paper examines the evidence.
