<p>[QUOTE=&quot;JonySky, post: 292738, member: 3802&quot;]I recently acquired a Sotheby&#039;s Catalog from 1993. In it there is a coin I had never seen before. One of only 2 known gold Aureus issued by Marcus Junius Brutus, essentially bragging about his role in the assassination of Julius Caesar. The reason is represented by the Pileus {the cap of freedom}, the means by the 2 daggers on the EID MAR {Ides of March}. Talk about cold ....The History shown on this coin was an event that actually changed world history. But I think the thing that amazed me most of all is that the image of Brutus doesn&#039;t look anything like I pictured him. I expected him to be big and strong, but he looks kind of wimpy. There are 56 Silver Denari of this coin and only 2 in gold. Can anyone think of a more desirable Ancient? Has anyone ever seen this coin in person? I&#039;d be interested in the comments of the members about this coin? The Holy Grail? JonySky[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
