Cassius Dio (trans. E. Cary, LacusCurtius)

Claims Supported by This Source

  1. The Senate named Caesar "Father of his Country" and inscribed the title on the coinage (44.4.4). There is no mention in Book 44 of permission to strike his portrait on the coinage.
  2. Brutus stamped upon the coins his own portrait and a cap and two daggers, indicating by this and by the inscription that he and Cassius had liberated the fatherland (47.25.3). The cap is the one given to slaves at the time of their manumission (Cary's note).
