<p>[QUOTE=&quot;JayAg47, post: 5245126, member: 112342&quot;]So I saw this image on reddit, it&#039;s a section of the Ephesus, Parthian Monuments.</p><p>[ATTACH=full]1218323[/ATTACH]</p><p>&nbsp;It depicts Hadrian in the right with his adopted heir Antoninus Pius, and his adoptive sons Marcus Aurelius and Lucius Verus.</p><p>Things that truly sets these men apart from literally any other men in power were,</p><p>1. Hadrian actually chose someone who&#039;s worthy of the job,</p><p>2. Antoninus Pius did just that, and also piously followed the will of adopting Aurelius and Verus,</p><p>3. Aurelius and Verus could&#039;ve fought among themselves for the throne<i>*cough* Severans *cough*</i>, but instead Aurelius willingly shared his throne to his half-brother even when some senators advised against it! </p><p>I don&#039;t know if we would ever see men like them (yes, even in this current &#039;civilized&#039; modern world).</p><p><br /></p><p>And, here&#039;s my take on these busts to keep it related to coins!</p><p>[ATTACH=full]1218324[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
