This topic is semi-serious, mostly joking.
Were most Roman Emperors depicted as being full-heads due to the less toxic diets of the era, better genes among people of central italy, or due to anti-baldness discrimination in ancient times?
I mean look at August, Nero, Claudius, Caligula, Tiberius, Domitian, Trajan, and Vespasian below?
Of those, ordered by the first few listed on google, only Vespasian is bald. He had to defeat the Jewish rebellion of 66-73 AD in order to become Emperor. Him and his son Titus.
