<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Roman Collector, post: 3091962, member: 75937&quot;]For many rulers, it&#039;s true the coins simply bear the images of two people. However, for Gordian III specifically, prior to his marriage to Tranquillina, he appeared with Serapis on these two-bust issues. When he got married to Tranquillina and she was elevated to the rank of Augusta, she appeared in tandem with him. So, the marriage marks the event that triggered this change in iconography, hence some numismatists call them marriage issues.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
