   "Caesar, beware the Ides of March."

   This is the reverse of a coin minted by Brutus, who plotted and killed Julius Caesar on March 15, 44 BC. These coins were minted for two years following Caesar's murder. The inscription reads "EID MAR", short for Eidibus Martiis meaning "On the Ides of March." Above the words are the Roman cap of freedom, flanked on either side by daggers like those used by the 66 senators to kill Caesar on the steps of the Senate.
