Rare gold coin linked to Julius Caesar’s assassination worth $4 million repatriated to Greece! (photos)

29 artifacts were repatriated to Greece in a ceremony at the Greek Consulate

Newsroom March 29 04:40

An extremely rare gold coin that has its roots in the deep past and is related to the day Julius Caesar was assassinated, one of the few in the world, was repatriated to Greece.

According to a statement released by the Manhattan District Attorney’s Office, 29 artifacts were repatriated to Greece in a ceremony at the Greek Consulate.

The objects were all seized during criminal investigations and include a gold Eid Mar Coin of unknown provenance, which was minted in 42 B.C. and commemorates the murder of Julius Caesar; a bronze calyx krater dated to 350 B.C. that was looted from a chamber tomb and smuggled into Switzerland and then the United States; and a collection of marble sculptures depicting a family group dated to between 5000 and 3500 B.C.

Among the artifacts returned was a rare gold coin that has its roots in the deep past and is related to the day Julius Caesar was assassinated, one of the few in the world, a double Cycladic figurine, but also the largest Cycladic flask ever found.

These figurines are known to have been taken from the island of Euboea before they eventually landed in a museum in the United States.
