[QUOTE="TIF, post: 8128514, member: 56859"]More notes on why I don't think it's a Brutus monogram. Wouldn't it be more likely to draw a BR monogram like this: [ATTACH=full]1415762[/ATTACH] But even so, why would he use "BR" as his monogram? Would he more likely use MJB for Marcus Junius Brutus? I suppose if Ti is Tiberius it is possible that the monogram is an upper case B and lower case r but it just seems like a stretch. It is hard to envision an upper case B and lower case R because when superimposed, the r disappears. I played around with some variations and wasn't happy with any of them. Of course just like doctors' signatures that look nothing like a name, I guess a monogram could look like anything :D. Also, just because I don't think the monogram stands for Brutus, that doesn't mean the coin couldn't have been issued by him. I just don't know.[/QUOTE]
