The imperatorial propaganda attached great importance on the military virtues of the young Caius Caesar as designated
successor of Augustus. The visit of the 12-year old Caius Caesar to the legions in Germania in the year 8 BC was to
introduce him to the legionnaires. The coin we are offering was struck for this occasion and was to spread the image
of an able military successor.
