{"product_id":"eid-mar-brutus-denarius-roman-coin","title":"EID MAR Brutus Denarius Roman Coin - Ides of March Collectible Token","description":"\u003cp\u003eThis Ancient Rome collectible coin replica is inspired by the most historically significant coin ever struck - the EID MAR denarius of Marcus Junius Brutus, minted in 42 BC to commemorate the assassination of Julius Caesar on the Ides of March, 15 March 44 BC. The front face bears a portrait of Brutus himself, facing right, with the inscription BRVT IMP (Brutus, Imperator) and L PLAET CEST (the moneyer Lucius Plaetorius Cestianus) around the rim - one of the very few Roman Republican coins to feature a living person's portrait. The reverse depicts the iconic EID MAR design: a pileus (the cap of liberty given to freed slaves) flanked by two daggers, with the inscription EID MAR below - a bold, unambiguous declaration that Caesar's assassination was an act of liberation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eStruck in brass with an aged antique silver patina, this replica captures the weight and gravitas of one of history's most consequential objects. This piece is an Ancient Rome historical collectible coin designed for display and collection.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eAbout the Design\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe EID MAR denarius is the most famous coin in the ancient world. Struck by Brutus in the field during his campaign against Mark Antony and Octavian, it was a piece of political propaganda as much as currency - a coin that declared to every soldier who received it exactly why Caesar had been killed and what the conspirators believed they had achieved. The pileus between two daggers is one of the most powerful images in numismatic history: liberty, won by the blade. Only a handful of genuine examples survive today, with one selling at auction in 2020 for over $4.1 million USD, making it the most expensive ancient coin ever sold. This replica allows collectors and history enthusiasts to hold a piece of that story in their hands.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eProduct Features\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDesign:\u003c\/strong\u003e Dual-sided - Portrait of Brutus with BRVT IMP inscription \/ Pileus cap flanked by two daggers, EID MAR\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eInspired by:\u003c\/strong\u003e EID MAR denarius of Marcus Junius Brutus, 42 BC\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial:\u003c\/strong\u003e Brass\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDiameter:\u003c\/strong\u003e Approx. 20mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight:\u003c\/strong\u003e Approx. 5g\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFinish:\u003c\/strong\u003e Antique silver patina\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePackaging:\u003c\/strong\u003e Protective display case\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThis is a commemorative collectible replica and not legal tender\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003ePerfect For\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAncient Rome and Roman Republic history collectors\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eJulius Caesar, Brutus, and Roman history enthusiasts\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHistory teachers, students, and museum gift buyers\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDesk display, study collections, and shadow boxes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThemed ancient coin and Roman history collections\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eShipping\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFree worldwide tracked shipping \/ Estimated delivery: 9-14 days \/ Each coin is securely packaged for safe arrival.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eExplore more designs in the \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/onemorecoin.com\/collections\/ancient-coins\"\u003eAncient Coins Collection\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eDisplayed images show the collectible design and relief detail.
