Coin (obverse), Denarius, of Marcus Iunius BrutusThis silver coin was minted in Rome by Marcus Iunius Brutus in 54 BC. It is a type called a denarius, the most common Roman silver coin. This picture shows the obverse of the coin. The obverse depicts Libertas, the goddess of Freedom, identified by the legend 'LIBERTAS' written downwards behind her. Brutus fervently opposed those whom he believed were intent on seizing power as dictators. This design is probably in opposition to the supposed ambitions of Pompey at this time. Later, Brutus joined the conspiracy against Caesar for the same reasons. Record detailsTo search on related items, click any linked text below.
