| Appearance of Gauls | Diodorus
Siculus 5.28 (late 1st century B.C. history): The Gauls are tall in body, with rippling muscles... They are always washing their hair in limewater and pull it back from the forehead..., so that they look like Satyrs and Pans; the treatment of their hair makes it so heavy and coarse that it looks like the mane of a horse... Some of them shave the beard, but others let it grow a little. The nobles shave their cheeks but let the moustache grow until it covers the mouth. |
