[QUOTE="Valentinian, post: 3256436, member: 44316"]I think we have determined that if a portrait of a member of the first tetrarchy shows curls in the beard, it is Constantius I.

Here is an example: [ATTACH=full]855644[/ATTACH] 28 mm. 8.85 grams. Constantius I, as Augustus 305-306. IMP CONSTANTIVS PF AVG FIDES MILITVM AVGG ET CAESS NN AQS in exergue Fides standing, head left, holding two standards RIC Aqulieia 60a, "C. 305-306" This type is only from Aquileia. The beard is not curly, but it is Constantius anyway.[/QUOTE]
