Poor Brutus. (In case you're wondering why I responded to an old
thread, I'm new here, and going through the threads for the first time).
I don't have the deep pockets for the
EID MAR series, although I consider it to be the most fascinating and important in
numismatics (I consider them an absolute
bargain compared to an 1804 dollar). I would have considered him a hero and joined
his cause, although he turned out to rule as an autocrat during
his brief tenure. Fortunately for the
Romans,
Caesar Augustus turned out to be the best of the Emperors, although no one could have known that in 44 B.C.
I am fortunate enough to own a Rufus issue that's tentatively attributed to
Brutus, a relatively obscure and ignored issue, but
still rare. I bought it at a relative
bargain in the 90s.
The late
Republican era is one of my
field of collecting interest.
