American Numismatic Society - The ANS's Greatest Coins series examines coins in the American Numismatic Society's collection, carefully selected for their historical fame. In this episode, Curator of Roman Coins, Dr. Lucia Carbone, looks at what is probably the most celebrated Roman coin, the EID MAR (Ides of March) denarius. That coin was struck under the authority of Julius Caesar's main assassin, Marcus Junius Brutus, in 43-42 BCE, to commemorate Caesar's assassination on the Ides of March 44 BCE. Shortly after, Brutus died on the battle field, sealing the end of the Republic.
An interesting video thanks..... Puts the recent coin that hammered for 3.2 million pounds into perspective maybe!? Dr Lucia Carbone...Brains and beauty
