[QUOTE="Ryro, post: 7371869, member: 91461"]Please be careful. If this gets out it might break the internet. It's even salt that he's throwing/sowing in the meme! [ATTACH=full]1284306[/ATTACH] Anyway, for what it's worth, [MEDIA=youtube]gp5JCrSXkJY[/MEDIA] in this incredibly complex equation all signs point back to, some of the greatest sons of Roma, the Gracchi bros, IMO. From the time of Gaius Gracchi after the murder of his brother: [ATTACH=full]1284310[/ATTACH] T. Quinctius Flamininus, 126 BCE, AR denarius. Rome, 3.91g, 18mm. Obv: Helmeted bust of Roma right; flamen's cap behind; XVI ligate below chin Rev: The Dioscuri riding right, each holding a couched lance, stars above; Macedonian shield between T-Q below; ROMA in exergue. Crawford 267/1 The key feature of the type – the Macedonian shield on the reverse – is very clear on this example. Issued by a descendant of the more famous Flamininus, a philhellene who prosecuted the second Macedonian War against Philip V and proclaimed freedom for Greece. Ex: AMCC 2 consigned by Caesar_Augustus[/QUOTE]
