This issue commemorates the birth of twin sons to Drusus Caesar and his wife Livia Drusilla (Livilla). This event became part of the series issued in 22 AD to promote the imperial virtue and dynastic solidity of the second emperor’s family. Tiberius Gemellus (meaning “twin”) was made principal heir with his cousin Caligula upon the death of Tiberius. Within the year, however, Caligula had his cousin murdered.
