To you speak of miniature scissors? Or are you thinking of a clipper who's use would be unmistakable? These scissors were 5-6 inches at length. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

My bad, Zeke You know, with all the crap the Romans DID eat, its a strange thing to me that they did not eat any beef unless they had to. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Marcus Aurelius 0 Report post Posted June 22, 2005 Excellent questions, leedx7. Remember that the Roman civilization existed for an incredibly l o n g time. What was done during one period often changed as time passed. I have read that at certain times during Rome's history, beards were very fashionable. At others, almost all free men were clean shaven. Some of those periods probably lasted for decades, maybe even centuries. Many men simply copied the style of the ruler(s). Interestingly, in many of our modern cultures "fashion trends" with regard to grooming, clothing, language and dance, do not start with the rich, but actually extend upwards from the poor.
