<p>[QUOTE=&quot;dougsmit, post: 2295494, member: 19463&quot;]Don&#039;t know but... In general, many 1st issue coins of emperors look less like the later ones because the cutters had not yet received up to date portraits to copy.&nbsp; They may have had information on what the man looked like years before or they may have just adapted the look of the last emperor.&nbsp; I believe you could make a nice specialty collection of misplaced faces like Vitellius looking like Otho or Septimius looking like Didius so maybe we have a hairy Carus for the set.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
