    Until fairly recently up past the Elizabethton age all stage actors were men. Even the female parts. I wonder if the male like portraits on the coins is related?

    The appeal of Titus' daughter as a marriage candidate probably had little to do with her facial features. Titus' face would be hard to make in a soft and sweet model. I suspect we are overly applying modern standards to such matters.
