You see a similar effect on those of Octavian where he is bearded until the last of the Pompeians are defeated at which point he shaves and the portrait becomes more like those that we see to for the majority of his reign near the end of the Imperatorial period and through his reign as Emperor.</p><p>[ATTACH=full]1202913[/ATTACH]</p><p>Roman Imperatorial period AR Denarius(3.86g, 18mm), C Caesar Octavianus, mint with Octavian in Cisalpine Gaul, Spring-Summer 43 BC.
