Nice Denarius @PMONNEY ! I have been targeting one of those...

Here is my Janius Brutus ancestor...


Roman Republic 54 BCE
AR Denarius, 18.3mm, 3.7g
Moneyer: Marcus Iunius Brutus (aka Quintus Servillius Caepio Brutus)
Obv: Bare hd of L. Iunius Brutus (Consul 509 BCE), Bearded r, BRVTVS behind
Rev: Bare hd of C. Servilius Ahala (Master of the Horse 439 BCE), bearded r, AHALA behind
Ref: Sear 398, Crawford 433/2, from collection W. Esty CKXSUB 613

 

My example of the type, ex Knobloch Collection (Stacks, 1978). It was de-slabbed shortly after purchase.

 

Here are mine. The first was among my earliest purchases of a Republican coin, more years ago than I have fingers and toes to count on. I probably would have to pass on it now because of the incomplete name of Brutus, but neither have I found one I like better.

 

Nice ones
Both are on my list (have been on my list for years should I more appropriately write)

Q

 

Nice Brutus coins!!

And the L Brutus 'lictor' variety continues to allude me....

But, I do have Brutus as CONSUL ....... and a denarii of the 'other Brutus':
