Abstract
In 12 BC, the moneyer L. Caninius Gallus issued a denarius depicting a bare-headed Augustus on the obverse and a cippus inscribed C·C / AVG / VS / TI on the reverse (RIC I2, Augustus no. 418). This paper surveys several earlier interpretations of this inscription before arguing that it should probably be expanded to read C(omiti) C(aesaris) AVGVSTI ‘To the companion of Caesar Augustus’, so recording the dedication of the cippus in honour of the recently deceased Agrippa, the former chief advisor and colleague of Augustus.
