The liberty cap dates back to Greek &amp; Roman mythology &amp; was used as a symbol of freedom for slaves who did achieve freedom. It&#039;s been used on a number of ancient coins, the most famous being the aureus &amp; denarius issued by Brutus after he &amp; Cassius plotted the murder of Julius Caesar.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1352617[/ATTACH] </p><p>[ATTACH=full]1352618[/ATTACH] </p><p>The gold aureus pictured above recently sold for over 3 million dollars <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie57" alt=":jawdrop:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />! The liberty cap as a symbol of freedom was revived by French artists during the Neo Classical period, &amp; American artists copied it from them.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
