| David Sears says this In Roman Coins and Their Values, Volume 1: "Born Decimus Junius Brutus, this moneyer was later adopted into the Postumia gens, and changed his name to Decimus Postumius Albinus, though he still styled himself Bruti filius, "son of Brutus". He was to be one of the assasins of Caesar on the Ides of March, 44 BC." |
