Today on Final Jeopardy.. Medical History One of the first recorded autopsies was performed on this man & revealed 23 puncture marks.. None of the 3 contestants were able to answer it, two didn't know and the champion got it incorrect. I got it right away with my little knowledge of a famous ancient Roman coin.. Can you guess who it was?
These are popular things to print with 3D printers but none I have seen have over 20 holes. That would be an easy change.
Correct! Alex Trebek then stated that it was found that only 1 stab was actually the fatal wound. One of the most famous coins of all time is the EID MAR denarius issued by Marcus Junius Brutus in 43/42 BC. When Julius Caesar crossed the Rubicon, he threw Rome into more than three years of civil war, eliminating his opponents along the way. In 49 BC, many leading citizens, including some sixty Roman Senators, had come to see Caesar as a power-grabber who wanted to make himself king. This state of affairs was an unacceptable situation for men like Brutus, who wished to retain their beloved Republic. The Liberators Brutus, who was a trusted friend of Caesar's, conspired with a group of his fellow senators to assassinate Caesar. This group of conspirators called themselves the Liberatores or Liberators. They believed that they would liberate the Roman Republic from the threat of tyranny by a monarch if they could remove Julius Caesar from power. The Assassination of Julius Caesar In 44 BC, on the 15th day of March, a day is known in the Roman calendar as the Ides of March, Brutus and his co-conspirators struck. Using daggers they had hidden beneath their tunics, they flew at Caesar in a hail of knife blows, stabbing him at least 30 times. When Caesar realized his good friend Brutus was among his attackers, he asked, "Et tu, Brute?" ("You, too, Brutus?"). As Caesar lay dead on the steps of the portico, Brutus jubilantly shouted, "People of Rome, we are once again free!"
