3 (PL XXIIL 4r-8 ; XXVIIL 3, 4) has a better claim to be accepted as a likeness of Heraclius.^ In the case of the coin %ored PL XXIIL 7, an engraver of more than ordinary skill was evidently at work, and other coins, though less carefully executed (e. g. PL XXIIL 4 ; XXVIII. 4) present a portrait which does not materially differ from the model of PL XXIIL 7. The last portrait, No. 4 (PL XXIH. 9 ; cp. XXIII. 11), may readily be held to furnish evidence that Heraclius in the latter part of his re...ign grew a beard of portentous length and a moustache in accordance, but, probably, it does not well reproduce the features of the Emperor, for the eye is strangely represented by a ring with the centre hollowed out.* Constans II, son of Heraclius Constantine, and grandson of the Emperor Heraclius, is represented by three portraits : — 1. Beardless head. PL XXX. 12, 13. 2. Short beard. PL XXX. 14, 15. 3. Long l)eard. PL XXX. 16-21. * See »upra, pp. xxii, xxiii, and the description of Cedrenus there referred to.
