                     [Look at THIS!]   [Look at THIS!]

                        Germanicus, dupondius, F-VF

     Germanicus, AE dupondius (15.74g) Time of Caligula (37-40 AD) or
     Tiberius (17-19 AD) GERMANIC[VS] CAESAR Germanicus in triumphal
     quadriga right. / SIGNIS RECTP DEVICTIS GERM Germanicus standing
     left, arm raised in salute, holding eagle-tipped scepter, S C at
     sides. RIC(Gaius)57, Vagi512. Good F / VF, brown tone, a couple
     of small pits.

     Is this an issue under the emperor Tiberius? These never fit well
     into the coins issued by Caligula because there is no mention of
     the emperor, nor any commemoration of the death of Germanicus.
     Were these issued after the triumph in 17 AD and just prior to
     his death in 19 AD. There is precedence for coins honoring the
     heir. When Tiberius was heir to Augustus, many asses, dupondii
     and sestertii were struck as well as rare denarii and aureii. And
     Augustus was not fond of Tiberius. Tiberius also issued asses for
     his next heir, Drusus, who was also not in his favor. Provincial
     coinage of Germanicus as heir is fairly common. Hoard analysis
     should be able to distinguish between a coin issued in 17-19 AD
     and one from 37-40 AD. This shouldn't be a lingering question.
