The Roman Empire
Julian of Pannonia, 284 – 285
Julian has a very distinct nose which makes his portrait easily recognisable, as on the coin below. A more generic portrait type also exists which may have been engraved based on portraits of the "classical" soldier emperor Philippus the Arab half a century earlier. AMP.
