Rare Gold Coin Of Julius Caesar's Assasination Resurfaces After 2000 years
An incredibly rare Roman coin commemorating the assassination of Julius Caesar could be worth millions of dollars.
The golden coin has resurfaced after being hidden away in a private collection – and is just one of three in the world.
On the front of the coin is the face of Brutus, who famously killed Caesar at the Theatre of Pompey in Rome in 44BC. And the back depicts two daggers flanking a pileup – a type of cap given to free Roman slaves.
It's believed that this was to signify Rome was free from Caesar, who was seen by some to be a cruel and power-hungry dictator.
This type of coin is known as 'Ides of March', which is how the Romans marked March 15. Caesar was killed on the Ides of March, and this coin was created to commemorate the event just two years later.
"It was made in 42BC, two years after the famous assassination," said Mark Salzberg, of Numismatic Guaranty Corporation, which verified the coin.
"The front has a portrait of Marcus Junius Brutus, one of Caesar's assassins. "And the other side dramatically has two daggers and the words EID MAR, a Latin abbreviation for Ides of March."
There are around 100 Ides of March coins made from silver around the world. But just three examples of a golden Ides of March coin are known.
This particular coin is in mint condition, and was held in a private European collection. It's due to be auctioned by Roma Numismatics on October 29, and could fetch millions.
"The conservative pre-auction estimate is £500,000," said Salzburg. "But considering the coin's rarity, artistry and fabled place in history, I would not be surprised if it sold for several million."
Caesar is one of Rome's most famous rulers, known for his military expertise, skilled economics and political reforms. But many Roman senators saw Caesar as power-mad, some of whom eventually plotted to kill him.
He was assassinated on March 15 during a senate meeting at the Theatre of Pompey. A group of senators stabbed Caesar 23 times, claiming the act as "tyrannicide" – killing a tyrant.
It's believed that as many as 60 senators were involved in the conspiracy, and were led by Marcus Brutus, Gaius Cassius and Decimus Brutus.
Soon after, the Roman Republic gave way to the Roman Empire – as Caesar himself was never considered an emperor by historical standards.
After his death, Caesar was cremated and the Temple of Caesar was erected on the same site. Parts of the structure still stand today.

I heard he was loved by the masses he governed but hated by the senate because of the influence he commanded..
Nairaland is a place of knowledge. Thank you for the lesson on history.

Be wary of who you call your friend!
Did you know Brutus was regarded as Caesar's most trusted friend and politician, yet was the most prominent in his famed assassination?
... savvy Shakespeare!
God bless his memory!
Even you Brutus? those words filled with disbelief...can be regarded as the most famous line in Shakespear's Julius Caesar.
...his pen on papers was like a magic wand bringing history through drama to life!
Shakespeare's literal prowess was sparogatively blessed by God!
The coin would be worth millions honestly!

Genevieve Nnaji has written an open letter to president Buhari, asking him to end the brutality meted out to Nigerian youths by SARS, IgbereTV reports.
The actress/producer began by narrating her niece's encounter in the hands of officials of the Special Anti-Robbery Squad (SARS).
Genevieve stated that she's getting "weary and tired of being optimistic about change."
She called on Buhari to act and command his troops to "stand down".
"Mr President, it's time to lead," she added.
She wrote in the caption:
"Enough is enough. We are better than this. #endsars #endsarsbrutality."

~4.8 mins read
USB versions and speed standards refers to the generation and the speed at which data can be transferred through the USB port or cable.
First generation
The first version is the USB 1.0. It was released in 1996 and it is ancient by modern standards. It is very slow, with data transmission speeds of just 1.5 Mbps. You will hardly find any device using this version of USB today. If you do, that device is most likely in a museum. Due to it’s shortcomings, a minor upgrade called the USB 1.1 was released in 1998. USB 1.1 had speeds of up to 12Mbps and performed better than the 1.0.
Second generation
In 2001, the second USB version called USB 2.0 (High Speed) was released. USB 2.0 is still the version used on many smartphones today. USB 2.0 had three speed tiers. It transmitted data at 1.5Mbps (low speed) for low powered peripherals like wired keyboards, mice etc. 12Mbps (Full speed) was used for printers, photocopiers, flash drives, phones etc. 480 Mbps (High speed) was mostly used for data transfer.
USB 2.0 introduced many modern USB norms, including support for Mini and Micro USB cables, USB OTG, USB hubs and more. It is the slowest speed of USB still used today. You’ll find it used on cheap flash drives, devices like mice and keyboards, and similar. Most phones and computers today use USB 2.0 ports.
Third generation
USB 3.0 (Super speed) is the current standard for USB speeds. It was introduced in 2011. It is much faster than USB 2.0, and thus recommended for devices like external hard drives. USB 3.0 runs at a blazing 5Gbps. In 2014 and 2017, USB 3.1 and 3.2 (Superspeed+) were released as updates to the standard 3.0 and they were even much more faster.
You can typically identify a USB 3.x port or connector by its blue coloring. Many USB 3.0 ports also have an SS symbol (which stands for Super Speed). Most new computers have at least one USB 3 port, and all good-quality flash drives use this standard.
Fourth generation
USB 4.0 (Superspeed+ and Thunderbolt 3) was released last year (2019) and it transfers data at double the speed of USB 3.2. USB 4.0 transfers data at 40Gbits per second. It can only be found on the high end PCs, laptops and smartphones (probably).

Review Of Xiaomi Phones
~7.9 mins read
Been an ios fan for sometime now , after my experience with tecno and infinix products (spark 2,spark 3,camon 11,camon 12, hot 5,hot 6 pro), spent hundreds of thousands buying crap with wack processors, sometimes I have to wait 4 hours for these phones to charge to 100 percent, the so called camon 12 couldn't even play pugb on mid frame rate,.. swore never to use transsion products again and I went for ios which am still using till date..
After seeing lots of hype about xiaomi products, i decided to get one(note 9s 89,990 naira) and see for myself.
Firstly, the battery life was way beyond my expectations, heavy users won't have any fear with this.
stock cam portrait seems nice with nice object separation though not to be compared with my iph 7plus, but it ain't bad for its price, much better with gcam
body build is too premium, best body build I've seen so far on a phone at that range.
Gaming experience is flawless, playing pugb on high frame rate is as smooth as anything, game mode makes it easier to reply msgz while still playing without any lag.
the fingerprint sensor is too damn fast, unlocks like immediately without even showing any sign of the lockscreen being locked
The second space feature isn't something to be left out, no need running around hiding your contents
battery charging is way above average, fast charge works perfectly
What i love most about miui is its ability to be customized with various themes, applying themes doesn't just change icons and wallpapers, it changes the look everything in the system.. this is one feature i miss alot using ios
the ir blaster works perfectly with my Samsung tv and dstv decoder
the ear speaker for calls is awesomely loud, sometimes i just don't have to put it in my ear before I can hear what my caller is saying,,, this works best in noisy environments
Issues I came across after purchase..
The battery percentage jumping while reaching 90 percent, this was fixed by a hard reboot.
call speaker not coming up after an update, this was fixed by a later update sent.
Accidental unlocks when ever i touch the the fingerprint, i fixed this by changing the fingerprint sensor to unlock only when button is pressed.
so far i will rate my experience as 9/10..even my sis in law using an infinix product called me last nyt lamenting on how the the phone even with available storage can't take pictures and asking her to free up storage, then asked me if I've heard about redmi phones that she wants to get one, was shocked someone in kano even knows about xiaomi products..
anyone telling you xiaomi products are wack is purely an enemy of progress.. This is my honest experience so far..
still rocking my iPhone 7plus
