On the way across the Aegean Sea, Caesar was kidnapped by pirates and held prisoner.  He maintained an attitude of superiority throughout his captivity. The pirates demanded a ransom of 20 talents of silver, but he insisted that they ask for 50. After the ransom was paid, Caesar raised a fleet, pursued and captured the pirates, and imprisoned them. He had them crucified on his own authority, as he had promised while in captivity—a promise that the pirates had taken as a joke. As a sign of leniency, he first had their throats cut.

Octavian/Agustus was supposedly a total milquetoast and was prone to frequent illness, particularly before a battle. Agrippa's victories placed the yellow bastard on the throne.

Claudius has some sort of palsy, stuttered, and even had a drooling problem. Zero luck with the ladies. He was a 1. Everyone thought he was a tard, so the previous two bloodthirsty lunatics didn't bother offing him, and the Praetorian Guard declared him emperor after eliminating Caligula.

He was a fan of his 3 sisters vaginas, one named Drusilla in particular.

I think it was Tiberius who was even more infamous for his anything goes appetites.

Lots of those claims are iffy, and the narrator, who sounds like a damn bricklayer, is presenting them as undisputed.

He did horrid shit to the Christians tho.  They were an easy scapegoat at the time and it was useful to have someone to blame. Apparently he's the source of the Christian devil's number 666, since the letters of his name in Jewish numerology somehow comes out as that.

How did they cut hair and shave?
Title: Re: Facial Reconstructions of Roman Emperors
Post by: Kwon on August 26, 2020, 09:29:48 AM
How did they cut hair and shave?

Probably their versions of razors.

The barbers usually shaved the customers faces with iron razors and applied an aftershave with ointments that may have contained spider webs.

Trimming a head of hair and shaving would be the rule in Rome in the second century BC.

(https://harveyjskincare.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/02/Roman-Iron-Razor-266x300.png)

(https://harveyjskincare.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/02/Roman-Razor-w-Bronze-Handle-292x300.png)

The razor was introduced in the bronze age and according to some Roman historians, the razor was introduced into Ancient Rome of Lucius Tarquinius Priscus who was king of Rome from 616 to 579 BC (this was during the Roman Kingdom era, prior to the Roman Razor w Bronze HandleRoman Republic and the much later Roman Empire).

 
500 BC It became popular for men to crop their hair very short and shave the face in Greece.

Alexander the Great is responsible for this as he was obsessed with shaving. He shaved even during war and would not be seen going to battle with a five o clock shadow. Like the Middle East culture Greeks back then considered  it an aesthetic approach to personal hygiene. Around this time, Roman women also remove their hair with razors and pumice stones. They even make their own depilatory creams from medicinal drugs such as Bryonia (homeopathic medicine based on the plant Bryonia dioica).

They also pluck their eyebrows using tweezers.

 
300 BC During this time in Rome young men of about the age of 21 are required to have their first shave. They kick this off by celebrating their official entry into manhood with an elaborate party. Other friends are invited to watch and give the novice a bunch of gifts. Only soldiers and those training to become philosophers are excused from participating in this cultural ordeal. What fun..

 
Around 50 BC In Rome wealthy men were following the example of Julius Caesar, who had his facial hairs plucked out individually by tweezing every day. Depilatories (a cosmetic preparation used to remove hair from the skin on the human body) are used as an alternative to the bloody mess that results from shaving with a blade. The latest available creams way back when included some pretty wild ingredients such as resin, pitch, white vine or ivy gum extract, asses fat, she goats gall, bats blood and powdered viper. Pinching ones nose closed when applying would have been an understandable reaction…. although maybe, who knows, they kinda liked it?

 
Roman men would have a skilled live-in servant to shave them; otherwise they start their day with a trip to the tonsor, or barber, who would Novacila Razorshave a face with an iron novacila, which looks strangely like a precursor to a knuckle duster or Roman razor. This type of shaver corrodes quickly and became blunt; so most customers usually, or eventually, would be cut or nicked. But don’t worry – the tonsor would fix this by applying to the face a soothing plaster made from special perfumed ointment and spider webs soaked in oil and vinegar.

Lovely!

Constantine brought the clean-shaven look back in fashion around 300 AD and the trend mostly continued until the end of the West in 476 AD.

The Emperor Julian, the last Pagan Emperor, who tried to change the imperial religion back to Paganism grew a beard in homage to ancient Greek philosophers.

Hadrian may have grown it to ape the Greeks. He was queer for all things Greek, as well as all things adolescent male. Or he might have decided to wear it to keep in good with the soldiers, since they were generally unshaven. Being popular helps with not being assassinated while on campaign. Although he didn't favor conquest he was on the road a lot.

Don't mention him favorably around Jews. He was a bit of a Hitler, although the Jews gave his armies a hell of a time and were no easy targets.
