Blatant commercialisation!

Denarius issued by Brutus after the assassination of Big Julie. Eidibus Martiis – "on the Ides of March" under a "cap of freedom" between two daggers

You too Brutus! James Mason in the 1953 movie with quite the cast. There were also Marlon Brando, John Gielgud and other big names.
