Now that they have all made their appearances in the story as of Chapter 6, I can share the drawings I made of the three Ministers in my current Silksong fanfic, The Life You Saved.

It's a very slow-burn Lacenet fic that has barely even gotten started, really, but you can check it out here if you're interested!

Today in 193 AD, Pertinax ascended to the throne of the Roman Empire. He was the first emperor of the turbulent Year of the Five Emperors, a brief and chaotic reign that followed the assassination of Commodus.

Despite ruling for only about 87 days, Pertinax issued coinage in gold, silver, and bronze bearing his name. Gold aurei and silver denarii were struck in Rome and emphasized legitimacy and reform, often featuring his laureate portrait with reverse types promoting justice, discipline, and stability (such as Providentia, Aequitatis, and Laetitia Temporum). Bronze coinage—including sestertii, dupondii, and asses—was also produced, intended for everyday circulation and carrying similar moral and restorative messages. Because of the extreme brevity of his reign, all Pertinax coins are relatively scarce today, with gold pieces being particularly rare and highly prized by collectors.
