Very nice type, and a very historic piece. I absolutely love the conspirator denarii, although I don't own any.

I too love the coins of the conspiracy, but I only own one. It is a D. Junius Albinus Denarius Syd 942 struck at Rome, 48 BC.

Caius-Cassius-Longinus

OBV: Hd of pietas r; PIETAS
REV: Clasped hands on caduceus; ALBINVS BRVTI.F.
3.91g. 19mm
Some believe Decimus Junius Brutus Albinus may have been the Brutus so beloved by Caesar and not Marcus Brutus.

Here is what Admiral Smyth says

JUNIA

Obverse
PIETAS. A decorated female head, representing the goddess Pietas, or faithful attachment.

REVERSE
ALBINVS, BRVTI F(ilius). Two joined hands support a winged caduceus. This is one of the most usual emblems of Fides, or faith among parties - - " and carries out Virgil's "Accipe, daque fidem" and "Jungimus hospitio dextras". The caduceus typifies peace and concord, yet the political horizon was densely obscured, and the civil distractions - - " which gave rise to the Mantuan's "turbatur agris" - - " had already proved how little faith existed, and that human happiness was for a time most wofully interrupted. This seem to relate to the circumstances of the times, alluding probably to the general faith inspired by the two Consuls - - " Pansa and Hirtius - - " taking the field against Antony; and the confidence in better days was confirmed by their having procured a decree for honours to Brutus, Octavius, and the legions, just before their departure, B.C. 43. The type relates to Decimus Brutus, who, being besieged by Mark Antony at Mutina, B.C. 43, was liberated by the consuls Hirtius and Pansa, though their victory was fatal to both of them. Antony, however, was completely defeated, and obliged to cross the Alps, whence he fled into Gaul; where he joined the forces under Lepidus.
