<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Mr.MonkeySwag96, post: 8353322, member: 100951&quot;]I’ve yet to own a coin of Brutus. If I was to own a coin of his, it would be the consul and lictors type. Obviously the consul and lictors type is the least expensive of Brutus’s coins. However that reverse type is iconic and depicts Brutus’s ancestor, the founder of the Republic. Not everybody has the wallet to own an Eid Mar denarius, but a person of modest means can save up for a consul/lictors denarius.</p><p><br /></p><p>Here are some relevant coins from the Imperatorial period:</p><p><br /></p><p>Julius Caesar, the tyrant that Brutus assassinated on the Ides of March:</p><p><br /></p><p><img src="https://collectivecoin.imgix.net/iF5Xb9DYRXOT3biAjUTQ_5jWl9TP.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>3.16g, 17mm Diademed head of Venus right Aeneas advancing left, holding plladium and carrying Anchises on his shoulder. &quot;CAESAR&quot; RSC 12</p><p><br /></p><p>Marc Antony, one of Brutus’s opponents at the Battle of Philippi:</p><p><br /></p><p><img src="https://collectivecoin.imgix.net/AujjakxTRCaU43F6rmtK_XsiZ9d4.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>Mark Antony Legionary Ar denarius, 32-31 BC.
