Clarification for non-Hispanics. In the Hispanic countries and I believe Southern Italy too (correct Prometeus?) the French deck (shamrocks, picks, hearts, diamonds) is seldom used. We use the Spanish deck, which has gold, cups, swords and sticks. The second guy on the left is the King of Sticks.

We use both of kind in all of the country, JB... and even worse... every region, province, and even a single town has a local look deck' set ( we have placentine kind, napolitan, roman, "trevisàn", sardinian, and so on ).

Where do you get those stamps from?
They are so good in terms of historical quality-I mean the person who made these clearly knows the vast span of History in Hispania.
My only quip is to make it clear the Gothic king Ricared (Richard) did not convert to Christianity-his people had been Christian for a good 250 years or so, except that the kind of Christianity they had been converted to was formulated by a Egyptian priest by the name of Arios, and his creed is called Arianism (nothing to do with skinheads), essentially this creed denies the Divinity of Jesus Christ, and all depictions of him in the Arian Churches range from images of the Cross, to Neo-Pagan images depicting him as a kind of Apollo---have a look at these pictures to see what I mean.
Some info on this event can be found 
This is how Christ was depicted in the Holy Roman Catholic and Apostolic Church (Orthodox) before the adoption of the Arian rite, which the Goths in Hispania retained despite their supposed embrace of the Catholic Creed.
This is how Jesus Christ was depicted according to the Arian Creed...
For mor images from Ravenna, Italy, click Here
So really the Gothic monarchy retained its heretical creed, with a facade of being Catholic, so that depictions of Christ as a non-Divine person were retained to this day such as 'Christ Crucified'.
Yet the idea of Jesus Christ and his Guidence is alive, and so He could never have been purely mortal.
