Julius Caesar's Funeral

 I found the below video interesting, it describes the details around the assassination of Julius Caesar and what happened exactly leading up to his cremation in the Forum. Something I didn't know, the crowd started throwing their jewellery and personal belongings onto the funeral pyre, then their clothing, furniture from neighbouring businesses, you name it. When I visited the Forum I saw the location of Caesar's cremation and found that people threw coins onto the spot. At the time I tried to get an answer as to why people did this but got no sensible reply. Well, now I know. That's what I call famous.
