@@barath4545 the math for number of centurions is easy to calculate, 9 cohorts of 6 six centuries and one of 12. 66 centurions per legion, brutus and the liberators had 17 legions at the battle of phillipi.

Personally i think collecting coins is one of the most interesting and satisfying passions one can pursue. not for their rarity or monetary value, but the feeling and sensations you receive, knowing you're holding an ancient object that an uncountable amount of people held in their hands before you. Among them, kings, queens, soldiers and poor farmers across the ages. The thought that a coin i can call my own today might have actually been in the hands of a historical figure of the hellenistic or roman era is one of the most satisfying feeling i can experience. Not only that, but also as a person with great interest in history a coin gives you the opportunity to do research and learn where each coin was minted and what is depicted and WHY certain things are depicted. On top its a great passion to share with you kids when they're the right age.

Awesome video Garrett! As for the coins rarity, I had read that after Cassius’s and Brutus's defeat at Philippi and they had taken their own life, both Mark Anthony and Octavian were made aware and shown the coin. Both publicly announced that they would immediately put to the sword anyone found with an EID Mar coin in their possession. Considering the triumvirate was formed and immediate proscriptions commenced, it was an assured death sentence to hold on to one. Speculation was thousands of the denarii were collected and melted into a statue commemorating the battle of Philippi and deified Julius Caesar. You were truly holding some amazing history in your hand!

"The idea of possessing a direct connection in the ancient world, something you can touch, and through it touch every hand that held it before." Yes! While attending a seminar on Israeli history and ancient scriptural lexical-syntactical analysis. On each table there were small pottery pieces from around the time of 1st Century Israel, perhaps some pieces were even older. Mini games and quizzes were done at the end of the seminar and those who won got to pick a piece from the table where they sat. I happen to win and picked a unique piece that had a partial handle attached. I had been eyeing this piece all week and marveling at the indentation the potter had left where the handle was pressed into the jar to attach. In that minor indentation was a large to what I believe is the man or woman's thumb print from sometime around 2,000 years ago. I keep it in my desk and every now and then pull it out and put my thumb into the indentation and just marvel what that persons life was like and who they were.

Hi Garrett! From my observations throughout the years, I think some points are worth noting: Rarity per se isnt a predictor of price. I have a unique double-antoninianus, and it is a very cheap coin. The combination of rarity and the "Who cares" factor is what truly makes coins desirable. Denarii of Nerva for example, are numerous but they are also a key piece of a "5 Good Emperors" set, resulting on quite high prices. On the topic of beauty, we are 100% in accordance. Beauty, good technique, and style are immediately recognizable, even for someone completely new to numismatics. And of course, historical significance is masterfully illustrated by this EID MAR aureus. I was already very happy to be able to feature the denarius version on my channel. Holding an Aureus one is one hell of a privilege, congratulations! Thanks for the video :)

My dad died in 2001 leaving a coin collection that my mother and I have sat on ever since, not knowing what to do with. He tried to get me into coin collecting but I failed to grasp it until only recently as I've tried to figure out what to do with them. He gave me a number of coins before dying and my mom was holding onto the rest of his own collection when she oneday shrugged and said "I don't know what to do with them. I'm just gonna take them to the village coin shop and take whatever they give me." I immediately confiscated them and have protected them from her ever since. When I was a kid, he took me back to his childhood bedroom hoping to find his stash of baseball cards. I vividly remember kneeling beside him in front of his old trunk as he opened it and we found nothing because his mom had apparently gotten rid of them. I'd been considering selling the the coins for years if I could only figure out how to do it right, but now I'm thinking about just holding onto them and passing them onto my nephew when he is old enough with a link to this video explaining what is so special about them. Thank you for helping me to finally wrap my mind around it. Love your videos.

The value of an ancient coin is determined by supply and demand, just like most anything else. Supply, that is quantity available, is something you can estimate at any point in time; but in ancients that can change radically as hoards are found. An example is the silver of the period of Diocletian; at the end of the 19th century they were extraordinarily valuable but starting in the 1950's several hoards were found and still are to this day; these coins now sell in the $1000 range in Extra Fine (EF) condition, far down in real terms from what they once were. Demand is a function of the sorts of things mentioned in this article, plus the appeal of the historical aspect of the coin. For example, the Brutus coin cited here is highly desirable due to the fact that we all know about Brutus from the Shakespeare play "Julius Caesar", and the coin both shows a dagger and refers to the ides of March--familiar to anyone who read "Julius Caesar" in school. It is an interesting period of history, with the story known due to the play; the result is high demand. I have collected ancient coins for decades and have spent quite a bit on some coins (for instance, bronze coins of Alexander of Carthage) but I warn anyone who sees these coins as investments; supply simply cannot be known, given metal detecting and hoards, and it is quite possible for something that is ultra rare today to be quite common ( and thus less valuable) tomorrow.

Your knowledge of the history is slightly upsetting given the authority of your presentation. Julius Caesar put his face on his coins, the first Roman to ever do it. That was one of the reasons Brutus used to gather support. Then Brutus turned around and did the exact same thing. And got rolled himself. But honestly mate, if you are gonna pretend to know what you are talking about, then know what you are talking about. You just lost all credibility in my eyes

PLEASE it's not Mark Antony. Why the Americanized uncultivated crippling of Markus Antonius? It just hurts.

Nelson bunker hunt who owned the coin got his 1.7 Billion dollar fortune passed down to him from his father, who got a bunch if shares of an oil company after trading poker winnings for it. Talk about luck.. Although his son Nelson ended up losing ALL of it.

The coin was returned to Greece in 2023 after it was determined to be looted from a field near where Brutus' army was encamped. The undisclosed buyer handed over the coin to American authorities and a British dealer was arrested on charges of grand larceny.

How much security was there off to the side in that room with you off camera? Also, I don't appreciate them making coins about my assassination, that's a bunch of SHIT right there.

You are thinking of the money as "spent." But it is actually being moved, or even increasing in value. It can be exchanged back at any time. Same is true for exotic cars and 7 figure watches. While a Subaru drops in value to zero a 10 year old Lamborghini is worth more than it cost to buy new, even with added miles. Crazy world

Strange that there are no alarm bells ringing. So, the coin was in a museum and now it is getting sold, didn't the museum like it any more? Why? Obviously it is not a coin, the hole in it tells me that it is an amulet, maybe some old Roman could have tryed to use this as money, but no one in the city would have enough change.

I got a cheap little copper "penny" from from the very late Republican era a few years ago because I too wanted to feel the physical connection to the past. it's a little worn so maybe I'll get a nicer piece next.

"The idea of possessing a direct connection in the ancient world, something you can touch, and through it touch every hand that held it before... " is nothing compared to the ability to buy highly speculative shares in some securitized piece of paint and canvas you will never see in your real life, right, Masterworks? Pushing something so sketchy makes you sketchy too.

Thank you! I have this coin which has been in my family for 300 years. Mine does not have a hole in it,so I made, a nice neat hole through it. Now I have a very valuable coin.
