The best way to prepare the succession during the Julio-Claudian era was by featuring the presumed heir on the coin. After the death of his first wife, Claudius married his niece Agrippina the Younger (daughter of his brother Germanicus), who already had a son from a previous marriage, Lucius Domitius Ahenobarbus. Claudius decided to adopt the young Lucius (February 50), who was thereafter named Nero Claudius Caesar Drusus Germanicus and appointed Princeps Iuventutis (March 51). He also married him to his daughter Octavia (53), effectively making him his heir, to the detriment of his own son from his previous marriage, Britannicus. This coin depicts the rise of the young Nero.
