A coin struck in 313, depicting Constantine as the companion of a solar deity

A jugate consists of two portraits side by side to suggest, to the viewer, the closeness of each to the other. The word comes from the Latin, jugatus, meaning joined.

Often this would be a presidential and vice presidential candidates although sometimes a state or local candidate is included with a presidential candidate.[1] Jugates may be seen on medals, pinbacks, buttons, posters or other campaign items.[2] If a third figure appears on the item, it is called a trigate.
