“The denarius of Brutus commemorating the assassination of Caesar is one of the very few coins to be described in the ancient  literature. Cassius Dio relates that “Brutus stamped upon the coins which were being minted his own likeness and a cap and two daggers, indicating by this and by the inscription that he and Cassius had liberated the fatherland” (Roman  History, XLVII.25.3). Minted in 42 BC, while Brutus  and his fellow conspirators were on the march in northern Greece, the coin type was recalled by the victorious Mark Antony and Octavian  and melted down. Approximately seventy-five examples are known to exist, from 7 obverse and 25 reverse dies (8 obverse and 26 reverse dies also have been cited). In 2008, the finest example sold at auction for 350,000 Swiss francs (approximately $335,000); in 2011, another  coin struck slightly off center realized $546,250, a record for a silver Roman coin. The coin pictured above, which shows some porosity,  sold for $97,500. “

Deep Dish Nine Snippets

ladyyatexel

After last week’s fun with that video, I went and looked through  my unfinished Deep Dish Nine folder to see if there was anything I could finish quickly.   There doesn’t seem to be anything I can just patch once and ship out the door, but I do have some snips and bits you guys might like to see from an ill-fated adventure in which Julian takes a bunch of his friends to the mall to help him find a gift for Garak.   They text him to send him ideas.  

It’s largely a disaster.

I was looking for something else and found this.  It might be new to you if you’ve hopped aboard the DD9 train since last February.  One day I’ll finish my oceans of unpublished DD9 stuff.  One glorious day.

After that last DD9 comic, naturally I had to draw something to cheer myself up, yeah?  (I … think we’ll be back to your regularly scheduled aliens after this, though. Probably.)

Inspired, of course, by @ladyyatexel’s AU Garak and Bashir, her versions of ~significant (human!)Cardassian hand-holding, and also rather directly by the first chapter of @tinsnip‘s can’t steal happiness (although I moved the interaction to Deep Dish Nine, mostly because I felt the need to put Julian in his uniform).

WHEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE DD9 Dd9gb
