Great coins. Question for us non-coin collectors: Why was there a long beard and short beard types? Not my pictures (only my visitors) Love the history:
Wonderful posts everyone!! So many terrific portraits and coins with exceptional eye-appeal. My contribution----another old Heritage slab photo:

Great OP coin, Ro!!! Because the human beard only grows about half an inch per month and it took Macrinus some time to look like an Antonine I have a rare transitional medium beard portrait: IMP CAES M OPEL SEV MACRINVS AVG Laureate and cuirassed bust right, featuring a medium beard, from the front PONTIF MAX TR P COS PP S C Felicitas standing facing, head left, long caduceus in right hand, cornucopia in left hand, drapery over left arm Sestertius, Rome, 1.Oct.-31.Dec.217 20,5 gr, 31 mm RIC IV 139, Cohen 66, Sear 7386, Clay Nr.2
