Pileus (huvudbonad)
Pileus (grekiska: πῖλος), även pilleus, var en rund, tätt åtsittande filthatt som bars av fria män i antikens Grekland, Etrurien, Illyrien och Pannonien. I romerska riket. övertogs seden att bära pileus från grekerna, som bar vad de kallade pilos.[1] Pileus bars i huvudsak vid högtidliga tillfällen och kunde även bäras av slavar i samband med deras frigivning. Det existerade två mindre varianter av pileus: den grekiska πιλίδιον, pilidion, och den romerska pilleolus.

Famous coin issued by Marcus_Junius_Brutus with his own portrait on the obverse. Shown on the reverse are the symbols of the murder of w:Gaius Julius Caesar: Phrygian/Liberty Cap (Latin: pileus, symbol of the Dioscuri, the liberators of Rome and the cap symbolically given to slaves in obtaining their freedom), two daggers, and EID MAR (short for Eidibus Martiis – on the Ides of March) or March 15, the date Gaius Julius Caesar was murdered. Cassius Dio (History of Rome XLVII 25.3.) Mentions this coin: "Brutus had on the coins his own image and a cap and the two daggers and with the inscription that he and Cassius had liberated the fatherland". It is a silver denarius (example shown: 3.6 gr) struck in Northern Greece by a coinage traveling with Brutus, probably right before the battle of Philippi (42 BCE), where he and the other Caesaricides were defeated by Caesar’s successors, Mark Antony and Octavian (later Augustus). The inscription on the front is L. PLAET. CEST BRVT IMP (L. Plaetorius Cestianus (moneyer) Brutus Imperator). Due to its rarity and special historical significance, this is one of the most famous and valuable coins of all time (the value of the depicted specimen is estimated at about $ 40,000.00 (as of May 2004). Source: Classical Numismatic Group, Inc. (CNG) A gold version of the coin was auctioned on 2020-10-29 for £2,700,000 (about $3.4 million USD)
