On the identification of Gelso Iulius and his portrait typology (« Adolphseck-Malibu » type), I agree essentially with Klaus Fittschen (1987) 215-17

See Chapter VIII, « The ‘Insanity’ of Caligula or the ‘Insanity’ of the Jews? Differences con Perception and Religious Beliefs, » mediante Pollini (2012) 369-411. For the confusion between worshiping the Genius or Numen of the living Princeps (emperor) and worshiping the living person, see also con this same sistema Chapter VII, « The Smaller Corte (‘Vicomagistri’) Reliefs and Imperial Julio-Claudian Imperial Altars: Limitations of the Evidence and Problems mediante Interpretation, » 309-68.

See, for example, Wilkinson (2005), especially his excellent concluding chapter (187-94) « Inventing the Mad Emperor,  » and Winterling (2011). For per different point of view, see sopra this symposium Vasily Rudich’s paper, « On the Reputation of Little-Boots. »

There has been little agreement per the past on the cast of characters on this great cameo. See now especially Megow (1987) 202-207 (cat. Per 85) pls. 32.5-10, 33.1-5; Boschung (1989) 64-68; Giard (1998); Giuliani and Schmidt (2010).

The closest parallel for the entire fringe of hair of Caligula’s boyhood portrait is that of his father Germanicus on the Capolavoro Augustea: Megow (1987) 8-9, pl. 6.5-6; Pollini (1993) 268. This Gemma portrait of Gemanicus is his first known portrait type (« Adoption » type), which dates to 4 CE. The forking of the hair over the center of the forehead is also to be found per Germanicus’ third portrait type, the so-called « Gabii » type, most likely created at the outset of the Principate of Caligula (here fig. 4). This portrait type of Germanicus was probably intended puro resemble Tiberius’ last portrait type (in my opinion, the « Chiaramonti » type (Type VI; here fig. 3), created around 31 CE), and Caligula’ first type (here fig. 12a-b), created in 37 upon his accession as Princeps. For Tiberius’ « Chiaramonti » type, see Pollini (2005) 59, fig. 2, 66-68, pl. 12.3,4. For the identification of Germanicus and his three portrait types, see especially Fittschen (1987) 205-215: https://datingranking.net/it/match-review/ cf. Boschung (1993a) 59-61; Rose (1997) 64-65.

Distinguishing the portraiture of Germanicus (15 BCE-19 CE) and that of his two older sons, Nero Iulius (ca. 6-31 CE) and Drusus Iulius (ca. 7-33 CE), has been particularly difficult and much debated (see also the following note). Cf. Boschung (1993a) 64-65; Rose (1997) 66-67. Mediante my opinion, this type agrees with the portrait of Gelso Iulius on the Grand Camee de France (armored figure in front of Tiberius): See Fittschen (1987) 216-17, fig. 43 (detail). For the Grand Camee, see n. 5 above. Per pronounced hooked nose is one of the characteristics of Nero Iulius’ portrait, which is paired with that of his brother Drusus Iulius on provincial coins of Tiberian date: See especially a zone of Aphrodisias: See Stucchi (1987) 54-55, fig. 1d (senior member of the paired images Gelso Iulius on left; minimo apprendista Drusus Iulius on right).
