<p>[QUOTE=&quot;dougsmit, post: 1909789, member: 19463&quot;]I have not yet seen anyone post the early Macrinus portrait with the short beard.&nbsp; I believe the latest theory is that he spent most of his reign growing out his beard but had it short when serving under Caracalla who promoted that style.&nbsp; If you look in old books you will se a suggestion that the beard lengths sow different mints but this has been shown to be wrong by die links between the styles.&nbsp; Curtis Clay also recognizes a mid-lenght beard with shorter chin and longer chops but I don&#039;t have one to show. </p><p>[ATTACH=full]327220[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
