I thought I would post a somewhat different game, or, perhaps challenge. As you know a triptych is a picture formed by three images. Below I have posted four triptychs. Each is a combination of three ancient leaders who have a relationship with each other. First identify the characters, second explain the relationship, third post one of your own. I'll explain the first of mine, which is a triptych of a bronze Cleopatra VII flanked by a denarius of Julius Caesar and one of Marc Antony. The relationship is that Cleopatra was the quasi consort of both Roman rulers in their quest for the riches of Egypt. Next I will post three more as unidentified. See if you can name them and then explain the relationship between each trio. Lastly see if you can post a numismatic triptych of your own. May Clio inspire your quest.
....learn something new everyday.......well, the last 3 are of the '5(6) gooduns' in different denominations of bronze......
nice idear Kevin. second pic: Germanicus and his 2 sons Nero and Drusus third picture:Claudius , Agrippina the younger,mother of Nero , and Nero who succeeded Claudius as emperor. last Picture: Hadrianus who appointed Antonius Pius as his successor and Marcus Aurelius as succesor of A.P (also appointed by Hadrian)
Right you are. Also nice touch in that the bronzes of Theodosius' sons are just half the weight of their father's coin.
