BEARDED, denotes a person or thing with a beard, or some resemblance thereof. The faces on ancient Greek and Roman medals are generally bearded. Some are denominated pogonati, as having long beards, e. gr. the Parthian kings. Others have only a lanugo about the chin, as the Seleucid family. Adrian was the first
of the Roman emperors who nourished his beard; hence all imperial medals before him are beardless; after him, bearded.
BEARDED Women have been all observed to want the menstrual discharge; and several instances are given by Hippocrates, and other physicians, of grown women, especially widows, in whom the menses coming to stop, beards appeared. Eusebius Nierembergius mentions a woman who had a beard reaching to her navel.
