Abstract

Here the established notion is challenged that the first steps towards the portrayal of individual features (such as beards) in ruler representations in the official art of Byzantium were made in depictions of Emperor Phocas (602 – 610) with a beard on some of the coins issued in his time as well as on his bullae.
