<p>[QUOTE=&quot;David Atherton, post: 2389870, member: 82616&quot;]Actually, not unusual at all! Both Domitian and Titus always have beards on better preserved specimens, Domitian with more of a &#039;mutton chops&#039; thing. In my descriptions of their portraits, whether as Augustus or Caesar, I always write it thus: &#039;Head of Domitian (or Titus), laureate, bearded, r.&#039;.</p><p><br /></p><p>A few years ago an author of alternative historical fiction contacted me after browsing my coin galleries at Forvm to ask why I always described Titus as &#039;bearded&#039;. He wanted to get the look of Titus right!</p><p><br /></p><p>BTW, nice coins Cyrrus. The Domitian tet is superb![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
