Always happy to share a little of the trivia I've picked up over the years!

Happened in coins too!

Coin depicting Vespasian (Pagan, Principate era, ~70 AD)

Coin depicting Caracalla (Pagan, Crisis of the Third Century, ~210 AD)

Coin depicting Constantine I (Christian, Late Empire, ~320 AD)

Coin depicting Julian the Apostate (Pagan, Late Empire, ~363 AD)

Coin depicting Valentinian III (Christian, Late Empire, ~455 AD)

My favorite is Constantine I. It's idealized to the point where it's almost anime-esque, where it's clearly a representation of a human being, but just a representation - while earlier coin depictions made the Emperor look like someone you could reach out and touch - a real person, not just an abstract holder of ultimate power.

Heavenly vision and wisdom, I think. Though I wouldn't be surprised if "THE EMPEROR IS WATCHING YOU" was a motivation too.
