The back was often used to communicate the rulerís accomplishments or intentions. The profile portrait was used because it suited the very shallow depth and limited surface of the coin. The tiny images were carved by engravers into bronze dies, one for the front and another for the back. The coins were then struck, one by one, in a process similar to how modern coins are created today.Portraits as PublicityCoins were an efficient form of publicity, particularly when new rulers needed to legitimize their succession or strengthen their reputation. Marcus Brutus issued this coin to commemorate his famous ancestor who drove the Etruscan kings out of Rome. Ten years later Brutus would generate his own publicity by assassinating Julius Caesar..
