Description
English: Famous coin issued by Marcus_Junius_Brutus with his own portrait on the obverse. Shown on the reverse are the symbols of the murder of w:Gaius Julius Caesar: Phrygian/Liberty Cap (Latin: pileus, symbol of the Dioscuri, the liberators of Rome and the cap symbolically given to slaves in obtaining their freedom), two daggers, and EID MAR (short for Eidibus Martiis – on the Ides of March) or March 15, the date Gaius Julius Caesar was murdered. Cassius Dio (History of Rome XLVII 25.3.) Mentions this coin: "Brutus had on the coins his own image and a cap and the two daggers and with the inscription that he and Cassius had liberated the fatherland". It is a silver denarius (example shown: 3.6 gr) struck in Northern Greece by a coinage traveling with Brutus, probably right before the battle of Philippi (42 BCE), where he and the other Caesaricides were defeated by Caesar’s successors, Mark Antony and Octavian (later Augustus). The inscription on the front is L. PLAET. CEST BRVT IMP (L. Plaetorius Cestianus (moneyer) Brutus Imperator). Due to its rarity and special historical significance, this is one of the most famous and valuable coins of all time (the value of the depicted specimen is estimated at about $ 40,000.00 (as of May 2004).

Nederlands: La bildo estas kopiita de wikipedia:nl. La originala priskribo estas: Beroemde munt van Brutus met op de voorzijde zijn eigen portret; op de keerzijde de symbolen van de moord op Gaius Iulius Caesar: Vrijheidsmuts (Latijn: pileus, symbool van de Dioscuri, de bevrijders van Rome en de muts die symbolisch aan slaven werd gegeven bij het verkrijgen van hun vrijheid), twee verschillende dolken, en EID MAR (afkorting voor "EIDibus MARtii") 15 maart, de datum waarop Gaius Iulius Caesar werd vermoord. Cassius Dio (Geschiedenis van Rome XLVII 25.3.) maakt melding van deze munt: "Brutus liet op de munten zijn eigen beeltenis slaan en een muts en de twee dolken en met het opschrift aangevend dat hij en Cassius het vaderland hadden bevrijd". Het is een zilveren denarius (afgebeeld exemplaar: 3.6 gr) geslagen in Noord Griekenland door een met Brutus meereizende muntenaar. Het opschrift op de voorzijde is L. PLAET. CEST BRVT IMP (L. Plaetorius Cestianus (magistraat) Brutus Imperator). Door zijn zeldzaamheid en zijn bijzondere historische betekenis is dit één van de beroemdste en meest waardevolle munten aller tijden (de waarde van het afgebeelde exemplaar wordt geschat op zo'n $40.000,00 (in mei 2004)).
