weight 27,02gr. | bronze Ø 35mm.
obv. Two crossed cornucopiae, each surmounted by head of one of
the twin sons of Drusus Tiberius Gemellus and Germanicus.
Long winged caduceus on background.
rev. Large S C, surrounded by the legend
DRVSVS CAESAR TI AVG F DIVI AVG N PONT TR POT II
Drusus was married to his paternal cousin, Livilla, to bring him closer to the Julians. Tacitus says she was unattractive as a child, but grew up to be beautiful. Their daughter Julia was born not long after the marriage, and they had twin sons: Tiberius Gemellus (19-37) and Tiberius Claudius Caesar Germanicus II Gemellus (19-23) on 10 October 19, the latter of whom died while still an infant in 23. Both Gemellus and Caligula were named joint-heirs by Tiberius in 35, a decision that ultimately resulted in Caligula assuming power and having Gemellus killed, or by forcing him to kill himself, in late 37 (or maybe early 38). The birth of his sons was commemorated on this sestertius.
The crossed-cornucopiae design is familiar on ancient coinage, and here the cornucopias, grape clusters, grape leaves and pine cones seemingly allude to Bacchus or Liber in a reference to fecundity. In terms of dynastic appeal, the design boasts of the prosperity and fruitfulness of the Tiberian line, with the caduceus symbolizing Mercury as the messenger of the gods and the bringer of good fortune. Despite the hopefulness represented by this series of coins, tragedy struck on two fronts. The ′Tiberian dynasty′ collapsed within months of its being announced when both Drusus and his son Germanicus Gemellus (the boy whose head is shown on the right cornucopia) died in 23. Poor fates awaited the remaining two members: Drusus′ wife Livilla became increasingly associated with Tiberius′ prefect Sejanus, and she died shamefully in the aftermath of his downfall in 31, and the second grandson, Tiberius Gemellus, survived long enough to be named co-heir of Tiberius with Caligula, but after Tiberius′ death he was pushed into a subsidiary role and soon was executed by Caligula, who would not tolerate a second heir to the throne.
