== Etymology == The word comes from the Latin, ''jugatus'', meaning joined or overlapping.
== Use == On coins, it is commonly used for married couples, brothers, a father and son, or ruler and divinity. Jugates are most often seen on pin-back buttons, but may also be seen on medals, posters or other campaign items.<ref>{{Cite book |last=Hake |first=Ted |title=Guide to Presidential Campaign Collectibles |publisher=Krause Publications |year=1991 |page=175}}</ref> If a third figure appears on the item, it is called a trigate.
=== Political use === 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 and vice presidential candidates, 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.<ref>{{Cite book |last=Wert |first=Hal Elliott |title=What Hanging Around Us in Plain Sight: The Great American Political Campaign Poster, 1844–2012 |year=2016}}</ref>{{Better source needed|reason=Original source explains the historical context and does not specifically link to the term "jugate".|date=December 2025}}
