The information on my above post was found on page 112 of the text Ancient European Costume and Fashion by Herbert Norris, Dover Publications. There is A LOT more information on hair styles in the book, covering many different time periods (greek, republican roman, the empire, etc. thru the middle ages). A great book and highly recommended...lots of info on tunica, female clothing, etc.
Jenny - I think legionaries that considered using gold dust in their hair would have not only been accused of being "greek" in every sense of the word, but most likely would have been given perpetual latrine duty...
