[QUOTE="ambr0zie, post: 8177909, member: 80952"]Well, I will not take this personally (I wish I'd look more like a scarecrow rather than being overweight) :) There is not much known about how Dacians looked in general, except that men liked wearing long hair and beards. The noble men (tarabostes) wore this kind of hats, called pileus [ATTACH=full]1429359[/ATTACH] Not having coins, at least not with portraits, doesn't help. Here is a commemorative coin obverse from 1983 (although the year on the coin is 1980), showing an image of the great Dacian king Burebista (reigned 82-44 AD). Under his reign the Dacian kingdom controlled the largest historically territory. [ATTACH=full]1429362[/ATTACH] Actually the project showed him with much longer hair, but because of the time when this coin was minted, long hair and beard could have been interpreted as hippie "decadence" so this was the final shape. Leaving the intermezzo - next coin in the game remains, of course, a coin depicting a Canopus jar - posting the same picture to avoid the next poster to scroll. [ATTACH=full]1429364[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]
