This Day in Roman History…

Two-thousand sixty-five years ago today, on what is known as the Ides of March, Julius Caesar was assassinated at the Theatre of Pompey in Rome by a group of Senators. At least sixty senators were in on the conspiracy fearing that he had become too popular and would undermine the Roman Republic.

This event on the Roman political stage, along with many others, is memorialized in Ancient Roman Coinage. These 2,000-year-old numismatic treasures help characterize the power of Rome. The stories they tell are artistic memorials of the lives and times of leaders who ruled the Roman Empire for over 600 years.

Those familiar with Roman history know he had many – well, let’s just say, character flaws. His odd, often cruel, behavior has created much intrigue about his place in western folklore.
