An ultra-rare coin celebrating Julius Caesar's assassination sells for a record US$3.4 million

The ultra-rare coin was issued by and features a portrait of Brutus, one of the men who led the assassination of Julius Caesar. An ancient gold coin described as a "naked and shameless celebration" of the assassination of Julius Caesar, featuring a portrait of one of the men who killed him, has set a new record for a coin sold at auction.

It also depicts the daggers used by Brutus and his co-conspirator Cassius to slay the ancient general in the Theater of Pompey in Rome, and a cap of Liberty -- a symbolic garment given to slaves upon their freedom. Caesar's death is said to have been fueled by the belief among Roman politicians that he intended to make himself king.

Was it dated 44 BC?
