With this coin Brutus tried to justify his actions (maybe to himself) and remind Romans who liberated them.

Brutus knew the significance of his actions, changing history forever and giving us this historical treasure.

Follow for more insights into the classical world.

[Alex @AlexMJCanal]

Was he freeing Rome from tyranny, or assassinating a man who had been a father figure to him?

When we see the coin that Brutus struck the answer is clear.

On the reverse we see direct reference to the Ides of March (“EID MAR” - Eidibus Martiis).

And above it, two daggers.

[Alex @AlexMJCanal]

We only have a handful of his busts.

And this is even more special as Brutus is bearded.

Unlike Ancient Greece, beards were not common. Beards in Ancient Rome were signs of mourning or a vow.

For Brutus the vow was to defeat Mark Anthony and Octavian to truly liberate Rome.

[Alex @AlexMJCanal]

It’s no coincidence either that this took place on the Ides of March.

It marks the Roman new year’s eve and celebrates the Goddess Anna Perenna.

Sacrifices were normally made to complete the year and bring prosperity in the next.

So was Brutus a liberator or a traitor?
