Box K is Caesar, a famous Roman politician, who became the dictator of Rome after the unification of Rome. His portrait on the Roman Empire coin is a profile. After that, among the four King K cards, only the king with the red side was a silhouette figure, with his hair curled inward and holding a bundle of sticks (fascism).
