I was watching this Rome documentary/reenactment on Netflix about Julius Caesar. At one point they show Caesar and the actor who plays him has a beard. A short cropped beard, but a beard.
Immediately stopped watching cause if you think putting facial hair on Caesar is historical in any way. You don’t know shit about the subject. Not only were upper crust Romans diligent about maintaining a shaved face, but Caesar was the most dandy and shaved of them all. Dude used to pluck out his beard hairs.
Don’t worry - I watched the whole first episode of that same documentary thing on Netflix and it just went downhill from there. You didn’t miss anything good.
