| Reverse description | A pileus — the felt cap symbolising liberty and the emancipation of slaves — is depicted centrally in the field, flanked on either side by a pugio (Roman military dagger) with blade pointing downward, the two daggers referencing the weapons used in the assassination of Julius Caesar on the Ides of March, 44 BC. The legend EID•MAR is inscribed in the lower exergual area, reading 'Ides of March' in explicit commemoration of the assassination. The composition is bold and deliberately symbolic, making this one of the most iconographically significant and historically charged coin types of the ancient world. A border of dots encircles the entire design. |
