    THE MALE COUPLE: ICONOGRAPHY AND SEMANTICS

    MARIANGELA PUGLISI

    Taking for granted the value of studying coin iconography and the influence, whether direct orindirect, of the political authority on typological choices,1 we examine and interpret the icono-

    graphic development of living or historical characters (ancestors or divi), appearing in pairs on one

    side of a coin or on both sides as portraits or whole figures.

    During the late Republic we see an instrumental use of coin iconography by those who com-

     peted for power or wished to promote themselves, inspired by the first personal portrait of a living

    figure on a Roman coin,2 Caesar.

    Sextus Pompeius appeared to exploit strongly the communicative power of coin iconography,

    complying with the consolidated Roman tradition, but manipulating it for his interests, adopting,

    for the first time on a coin, an historical double-portrait, daring to transform Janus’s bifrons into

    that of his father, Pompeius Magnus.3 His marked self-promotional intentions are reflected even

    more in another issue, depicting his own portrait and the heads of his dead father and brother (Pl.I, 1),4 a clear intention of dynastic self-assertion.

    Soon after Caesar’s death, there began a sort of competition to ‘appropriate’ his memory also

    in the field of coin images. In 43 BC Marcus Antonius5 (Pl. I, 2) - and also Octavianus6 (Pl. I, 3)

    - struck aurei and denarii with their own portraits and the dictator’s face in order to highlight a

    continuity of intents.

    The alternating political relationships between Marc Anthony and Octavian are well reflected

    on a series where the two colleagues appear for the first time together (41 BC) (Pl. I, 4)7. The rap-

     port between Antonius and Octavianus reaches its climax in an issue (Pl. I, 5),8 where they appear

     jugate in front of Octavia, respectively wife and sister, embodying the family relationship uniting

    them. The same holds true for another coin, where the two triumvirs are joined in a bifrons (Pl. I,

    6).9 Some years later Antonius is also represented with his son,10 destined for possible succession

    in his father’s military role, so as to ratify Antonius’s intention publicly.

    The peer representation of the triumvirs, as in the triple jugate portrait of Ephesus (Pl. I, 7),11 

    can be observed in some widespread issues where they are matched in pair between Obv. and Rev.12 

    Only Antonius13 and Octavianus14 - unlike Lepidus - display their personal relationship with

    Caesar as a sort of ‘filiation’. Their self-depiction with him also enforced their role as persecutors

    of Caesar’s murderers. On the other hand even Brutus issued some aurei with a double portrait of

    himself and his heroic ancestor L. Iunius Brutus,15 the liberator from monarchy and first consul of

    the Republic.

    The person who most used Caesar’s image to legitimise himself was Octavianus, even when

    he was already Augustus. This took place in a climate of iconographic experimentation, withthe aim of expressing abstract concepts corresponding to precise political values: to reaf firm the

    legitimate filiation from Caesar (Pl. I, 8),16 to show his governing style, which was also founded

    on the presence of a substitute, someone who could take over in case of necessity, and to state his

    expectations of dynastic perpetuation.

    The transposition of Augustus’s intentions towards his son-in-law Agrippa to coin typolo-

    gies seems systematic in various issues of precious metals struck in a short timespan, as a kind of

     publicity campaign aimed at showing the functions shared by the two companions with analogous

    or complementary roles. On the denarii of Platorinus (Pl. I, 9),17 Augustus and Agrippa are both

    seated on a subsellium, a low seat used by the tribuni plebis, that seems to veil a peer power. The

    relationship between them is reflected in Tacitus’s Annales, 18 where Agrippa is mentioned as ‘ so-

    cius eius potestatis’ , while the role of the appointed successor is recalled by Flavio Giuseppe who

    defines him ‘diadochos Kaisari’.19

    We can find a close parallel in a contemporaneous issue with their portraits respectively on the

    Obv. and the Rev. with similar features.20 A similar depiction shows them in their of ficial capacity

    (Pl. I, 10):21 the former with a corona laurea, the latter with a rostral crown, showing a differentiation

    of roles: peers, but distinct, wielding civil and military power. Also in another issue (Pl. I, 11),22 with

    a reference to their censoria potestas (28 BC), a pendant  with the tribunicia potestas expressed by

    the typology of the subsellium, Agrippa and Augustus adopt the same standing position and clothing.It remains to be established whether the aim of these similar representations was to evoke the

    Castores and their alternating government, as it would be for the other heirs designated by Augus-

    tus, Gaius and Lucius Caesares,23 or to strengthen an idea of a putative filiation achieved thanks to

    their family relationship, if we believe Augustus wished to present Agrippa as the one with whom

    he would share his power and to whom he would entrust it after his own death.

    In the year of Agrippa’s death his exaltation turns into commemoration.24 Agrippa’s celebra-

    tion is conspicuous especially in the Roman Provincial coinage (Pl. I, 12)25 through his portrait

    conjoined with the figure of Augustus in a sort of duality of power, which harks back to the double

    of fice of the Republican consules.

    A formal respect for Republican institutions, even if with some typological innovations, is

    seen in the representation of the heirs chosen by Augustus, Agrippa’s sons Gaius and Lucius, oftendepicted in the same ways as we saw Augustus and Agrippa earlier. An of ficial presentation of the

    heirs seems to be represented in the issue of 13 BC (Pl. I, 13);26 opposite Augustus’s head they

    flank the portrait of their mother Julia, the source, as Augustus’s daughter, of legitimisation for her

    husband Agrippa who, although absent from this coin, is implicitly evoked as the ‘bearer’ of politi-

    cal power from Augustus to his still young children, the one who can ensure legitimate continuity

    and act as a guarantee of stability. The two young Caesares, almost always seen as a couple (Pl.

    I, 14),27 sometimes combined with Augustus’s head on the Obv. (Pl. II, 15),28 are named consules

    designati, as also Agrippa earlier,29 or as principes iuventutis (2-1 BC - AD 11) (Pl. II, 16).30

    When Augustus is compelled to choose Tiberius as his Caesar , due to the death of all the other

    designated heirs, his position is made of ficial on coins mainly with his portrait opposed to that

    THE MALE COUPLE: ICONOGRAPHY AND SEMANTICS 3

    of Augustus,31 as the previous Caesares and in the same way as Agrippa Postumus,32 last son of

    Agrippa, when he was appointed Caesar . The same scheme reproduces the immediate relation-

    ship between the figure of Tiberius once he had become  Augustus, and his direct predecessor,

    the Divus Augustus,33 renewing the tradition introduced by Antonius and Octavianus towards the

     Divus Iulius.

    Tiberius uses Augustan schemes to present his heirs, also in this case a couple, ready to take

    his place in case of need. Some new typologies appear, such as the two Caesares standing with

    spears (Pl. II, 17),34 a more or less veiled reference to the Dioscuri, the inspiration for an idea of

    diarchic power. We find also the first appearance of the two Caesar s seated on sellae curules as

     peers, being both consules, the emblematic magistracy of Republican regime symbolised in fact

     by the presence of the curule chair (Pl. II, 18).35 

    A sort of programmatic declaration of succession characterises one of the first issues struck by

    Vespasianus: he appears on the Obv., while on the Rev. we can see his two sons Titus and Domi-

    tianus seated side by side on sellae curules, mentioned in the legend as CAESARES PRINcipes

    IVVENtutis,36 to ratify their role as designated heirs.

    Common under the Flavians is the adoption of numerous Augustean iconographic schemes or

    those derived from Tiberius’s coinage (Pl. II, 19, 20),37

     often with a hierarchical differentiation between the two brothers, which reflects a difference of age and perhaps of roles.

    If Hadrian was not in time to depict Antoninus Pius with him on his issues, unlike the first

    designated Caesar , Aelius,38 Antoninus Pius abundantly used the opportunity offered by the coins

    to show, insistently, the choice of the adoption of Marcus Aurelius.39

    A peer relationship is expressed by the numerous joint issues in the names of Marcus Aurelius

    and Lucius Verus: their double-representation and interchangeability reflects their double govern-

    ing role of co-Augusti (Pl. II, 21);40 in a scene of liberalitas both the Emperors are represented

    identically on sellae curules, 41 unlike the scene with Antoninus and his hierarchically differenti-

    ated Caesar . The dynastic intentions of Marcus Aurelius focused on Commodus42 once a dual

    succession became impossible owing to the death of Commodus’s twin and then of their younger

     brother Annius Verus.43 Even clearer is the programmatic message of succession conveyed by Severan issues through

    various schemes, sometimes derived from the past, in other cases without any forerunners (Pl.

    II, 22, 23).44 

    During the third century various Emperors continue to depict themselves with these codified

    schemes as in the scene of liberalitas associating the Augustus with the co-governor or the Caesar  

    or Caesar s of different proportions to express their different hierarchical roles.45 On the other hand

    and clasping hands (Pl. II, 24),46 hint at a peer role, as the absence of any differentiation between

    them in their joint portraits confirms.

    Intentionally ‘conciliatory’ is the unof ficial representation of the usurper Carausius, shown as

    a peer jugate with Maximianus and Diocletianus (Pl. II, 25),47 the authorised holders of power.

    This is a case of ‘false’ propaganda, depicting a situation not corresponding to reality.

    Constantinus uses his own portrait associated on the Rev. with his Caesars with an evident

    hierarchic differentiation.48 The self-representation on the  sella curulis, of Republican memory,

    of the Emperor alone or accompanied by Caesar s or co- Augusti, ceases with Constantinus, as the

     Augustus’ s seat changes to become the royal throne (Pl. II, 26),49 once exclusive to deities, and

    never used by a living person, since it smacked of autocratic power. This new iconography would

    soon also be adopted to express a shared power with one or two heirs (Pl. II, 27).50

    Thanks to our diachronic examination of the male couple on Roman coinage, we have identi-

    fied some main iconic schemes, clear iconographical topoi, often with variants, but generally em-

     bodying different nuances of the Republican idea of duality, that begins with the representation on

    the same coin of two portraits, of Antonius and Iulius Caesar or of Octavianus and Iulius Caesar,

    also adopted by the triumvirs, two by two, and incisively by Augustus and Agrippa.

    The use of the two portraits en pendant  on the two sides of a coin soon became established,representing a constant on Roman coins, especially in two cases: either to depict the Emperor and

    the Caesar  or Caesares, when a couple of successors had been designated, or to show a certain

    legitimate descent or to show the Emperor and the Divus, often the ‘progenitor’ Augustus, in a sort

    of search of legitimisation from a historical ‘popular’ character of the past, as the Diadochs did

    with Alexander’s portrait or the Ptolemies with the first of the dynasty.

    Another type of parallel is set up with two jugate heads with a double profile, as in some Re-

     publican issues51 on the Ptolemaic model.52

    More frequently we find two confronted heads facing each other, a very common type through-

    out the Empire, above all to represent the two Caesar s, often conjoined with the Emperor’s head

    on the other side of the coin.

    The Augustan representation of two heads back to back, used both for Augustus and the Divus Iulius and for Augustus and Agrippa, did not continue afterwards.

    Even rarer is the presence of the male bifrons,53 limited, as far as concerns living characters, to

    the single case of Octavianus and Antonius.

    In the depiction of two characters on the same coin, the choice of a seat seems very important

    in representing the idea of power. The prevailing scheme consists of the Caesar s or the Emperor

    with the heir or the heirs seated on sellae curules in their role as consules, preferably during cel-

    ebrations of liberalitas, acts of generosity to the community, where the characters are depicted

    as peers in the same position and with the same pose, to underline their similar role, symbolised

     by the curule chairs, in the same manner as the subsellium of Augustus and Agrippa denoted the

    equal dignity of their of fice of tribuni plebis, and as the solium represented the autocratic power

    assumed by Constantinus for the first time, the throne that soon after would again be extended to

    make room for the heirs.

    The standing male couples are usually the two Caesar s introduced to the public during public

    ceremonies, as in the case of Gaius and Lucius consules designati, following the example of Au-

    gustus and Agrippa togati as censores expressing the idea of duality.

    In the codification of the majority of these coin images, a fundamental role was played by

    Augustus who, deriving signs and symbols both from the Hellenistic world and from Republican

    imagery, readapted them to the new reality of the Principatus, with the consequence that - as we

    have ascertained - many of his typological choices became iconographical topoi.
