<p>[QUOTE="dougsmit, post: 3304211, member: 19463"]His Provincials from Alexanria and Antioch (below) have hair added but not in such a way that we laugh at them as with the denarii. Of course that is part of why they are cheaper than denarii. People like the wigs. There are no baldies. Romans seemed more sensitive about that than other forms of appearance. I wonder if Julius Caesar had been hairy, would all the succeeding Roman rulers have worn laurel wreaths or would it have fallen out of fashion sooner or later. There are a few emperors that issued a few bare head coins but I have never known anyone who specialized in collecting them. </p><p>[ATTACH=full]875690[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
