EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a Denarius depicting the head of Brutus, a significant historical artifact from the 1st century BC. Measuring at just 2x1.9 cm, this silver coin is currently housed in the prestigious Fitzwilliam Museum at the University of Cambridge in the UK. The image portrays Marcus Junius Brutus, also known simply as Brutus, who was a prominent politician during the late Roman Republic era. Born in June 85 BC and tragically meeting his demise on October 23rd, 42 BC, Brutus played a crucial role in shaping Roman politics. Adopting his uncle's name for some time before reverting back to his original one, Quintus Servilius Caepio Brutus, he left an indelible mark on history. The portrait depicted on this denarius reveals a younger version of him with piercing eyes and strong features. The presence of daggers and coins symbolizes both power and political intrigue that surrounded him during those tumultuous times. This coin serves as a testament to his influence as well as being an important piece of currency used during that period. Displayed alongside other remarkable artifacts at the Fitzwilliam Museum, this photograph allows us to appreciate not only its artistic value but also its historical significance within ancient Rome's political landscape.
