#denarius of #Brutus" from the British Library. Brutus minted these coins in 43-42 BCE after his assassination of #Ceasar A denarius was about a day's pay. "Heads" shows Brutus with legend "BRVT·IMP" for Commander Brutus and "L·PLAET·CEST" identified the minter as "L Plaetorius Cestianus." "Tails" shows a freedman's cap, pileus, between 2 daggers with "EID·MAR" for ides of March.

Marcus Junius #Brutus, Gaius #Cassius Longinus & other conspirators assassinated Gaius Julius #Caesar on March 15, 44 BCE.
When the #Roman #calendar was #lunar, the position of the #ides within the #LGBTHistoryMonth varied slightly. When the Romans standardized the lengths of their months, they set the ides on the 15th for months with 31 days and the 13th for shorter months.

Een achtjarige #Duitse jongen blijkt bij het spelen in de zandbak van zijn basisschool in #Bremen-Arsten een #Romeinse munt te hebben gevonden. Het gaat om een zilveren #denarius uit de regeerperiode van keizer Marcus #Aurelius (161 - 180). Het is een raadsel hoe de munt in de Bremer #zandbak terecht is gekomen.

@kimlockhartga @revdjenk how about peppercorns? Any idea what the exchange rate was between #Peppercorns and a #Denarius in, call it, 100CE?
Thanks!

Was surprised to find out, that only is there a character to represent the defunct denarius 𐆖 , but it has a unicode as well! https://www.compart.com/en/unicode/U+10196
