    @Eduard This isn't an exact science or anything, but I think @Roman Collector has you beat with his smooshed/warn schnauz. Looks more like the wicked witch than Emperor.

    Yeah, but @Eduard's is on a sestertius... more real estate for schnozz. ;)

    On relative size the OP will be hard to beat... wow!

    The die cutter in Moesia was not skilled and did a cartoonish version with charicature-style nose.
