Summary In this history video, we explore ancient army regulations to see if Roman soldiers had to get buzz cuts like many modern armed forces. The ancient Roman history video begins by looking at what evidence we have of Roman soldiers shaving and getting their hair cut at all. We then look more specifically at whether or how the Roman Army had regulations governing a soldier's appearance. We then conclude the video by exploring the practices of other ancient armies like that of Alexander the Great who reportedly ordered his Macedonian Army to shave before the Battle of Gaugamela. Check out the rest of our videos for more content on the Roman Army and Roman history.
