[QUOTE="Julius Germanicus, post: 3056466, member: 80783"]Yes, that´s the old man - the hairline is barely visible but it´s still there. Gordian I does not look like 79 years old on any of his coins, so it seems very likely that all the celators had in hand to create an official portrait style for him while he was away in Africa was a 20 year old bust or painting of him that his relatives had on display in the family villa.[/QUOTE]
