Interesting fact
The Follis coinage was introduced by Emperor Constans in 347 AD, and it was the first time that a Roman Emperor's image was featured on a coin with a beard. This was a departure from the traditional clean-shaven image of Roman Emperors and signified a shift towards a more Christianized image. The beard on the coin was seen as a symbol of wisdom and authority, and it became a common feature on coins issued by later Emperors.
