[QUOTE="Cherd, post: 8561121, member: 24754"]Even Otho busts have this strange hairdo: [ATTACH=full]1510695[/ATTACH] I'd say that he either spent a LOOOOTTTTT of time on his hair, or it was a wig. I'm leaning towards wig. But, he has some provincial coins that show him with more conventional looking hair (and not bald): [ATTACH=full]1510696[/ATTACH] So, that would either be a different wig, he opted for the highly stylized doo only for special occasions (denarius/bust modeling), or the people in the provinces just carved him up in Augustus' likeness and called it a day.[/QUOTE]
