Message: [QUOTE="elitenuts, post: 3780653, member: 145550"] They all represent different people in history - "They drew the king of spades to resemble David, king of the Hebrews, and modeled his sword on the weapon he took from Goilath upon slaying the giant with a leather slingshot, which was shown lower down on the card. They depicted the club king as a stylized Charlemagne , the king of diamonds as Julius Caesar, and the king of hearts as Alexander the Great. The four kings thus represented the Jewish world, the Holy Roman Empire, and pre-Christian Rome and Greece, the four main wellsprings of Western civilization." [/QUOTE]
