Dressed To Impress |
Fashion came and went throughout the Roman Empire much like they do in our lives. Probably these changes were less frequent than they are today but they were made none-the-less. For years it was considered fashionable for men to be clean shaven even though many writers of the times tell us that getting a close shave was a difficult and often dangerous thing indeed. However Emperor Hadrian one of the more military Emperors did not shave and within a short time wearing beards became the height of fashion as the court around him followed his lead and others copied their masters.
