A '''jugate''' consists of two [[portrait]]s side by side to suggest, to the viewer, the closeness of each to the other. The word comes from the [[Latin]], ''jugatus'', meaning joined or overlapping.
On coins, it is commonly used for married couples, brothers, a father and son, or ruler and divinity.
In political contexts, it refers to the pairing of candidates with an emphasis on their joint candidacy and collaboration on campaign ideas. Often this would be a [[Presidential candidate|presidential]] and [[vice presidential candidate]]s although sometimes a state or local candidate is included with a presidential candidate.Voters may be better able to connect with and see the candidates as a coherent team thanks to these pictures. Campaign posters, banners, and other promotional items featuring candidates collectively was a method of reinforcing the notion of a cohesive leadership.
Jugates may be seen on [[medal]]s, pinbacks, buttons, [[posters]] or other campaign items. If a third figure appears on the item, it is called a [[trigate]].
