<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Ocatarinetabellatchitchix, post: 3309252, member: 99554&quot;]A few interesting research here : Henry Cohen wrote in 1885 about how to differentiate the two Gordians. He said <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie3" alt=":(" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />free translation ) “We can recognize Gordian the old by the thinness of his face, his hollow cheeks and his aquiline nose. Gordian the young (...) has a bare forehead and we can’t notice any hair at all .”</p><p>[ATTACH=full]876751[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p>Cohen also quote Julius Capitolinus , who would be one of the writers of the ‘famous’...Historia Augusta. Between <b>312-334 AD.</b> Look at what he said :”Gordian II was bald on his forehead.”</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]876765[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p>But the most important information was given when Cohen quote Eckhel ( died in 1798 ) who explained the reason of Gordian’s baldness. He attribuated it “to his excessive love for women”........outch![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
