Like all Romans, Scipio the Elder sported a beard. One day in Sicily, in deference to Greek customs, he decided to shave it off. Almost immediately, every young and modern-minded man in Rome followed his example, thus launching the new “smooth-faced” fad. Babylonian carpets were highly popular in Cato’s time –they would sell for 800,000 sesterces apiece when a chicken would only cost 2 sesterces at the market. Roscius was a charming and talented slave, so his master decided to make him a star in the theatre. In a few years, he became the darling of Rome, and he is still remembered as one of the star System’s greatest names.As shown by these few examples, in Rome, fashion influenced daily living habits – clothing, food, the home environment – as much as it did Roman art and literature, in which the notion of imitation played a key role. Since then, Rome has remained the arbiter of elegance by becoming a benchmark model of European culture and taste.
