Ides of March Coin Replica (Denarius of Brutus, EID MAR)

This finely crafted replica represents the historic Denarius of Brutus, famously known as the Ides of March coin (EID MAR), originally issued between 43–42 BC by Marcus Junius Brutus, one of Julius Caesar’s assassins.

The reverse carries the inscription “EID MAR”, marking the “Ides of March,” along with imagery of two daggers and a cap of liberty (pileus), symbolizing the act of tyrannicide and the liberation of Rome from what the conspirators viewed as Caesar’s dictatorship.
