[QUOTE="Herberto, post: 3168768, member: 74222"]A portrait of Napoleon here: [ATTACH=full]814803[/ATTACH] When I saw that image, something made me thinking that I have seen something like this in a different context… Later I realized a very similar position was on my coin of Justinian: [ATTACH=full]814805[/ATTACH] Actually, in one of the so-called 7 wonders, we find the Statue of Zeus at Olympia: [ATTACH=full]814804[/ATTACH] The similarity is difficult to avoid. So, I just wonder: Is that a coincidence that Zeus/Justinian/Napoleon had the same position? - What do they try to tell the readers? Note they all have the same stick. My Justinian has a glubus cruciger, and Zeus has a Nike. - I know what that means. Otherwise I am lost. Anyones who knows something?[/QUOTE]
