Quote:Why did byzantinians wore beards since the 6-th-7th centuries AD?
Hello Eugene,
I think you'll find men of the Bizantine world wore beards extenting well before 6th-7th centuries AD, people like Homer (and Jethro), probably Herodotus, and several cavemen who were proto-Greek. Due to lineal custom, they probably wore beards or not, depending on how furry they could get. Some men, even Europoid can't grow a "handsome" beard. Franky, I recall myself on the cover of a national magazine looking like ZZ Top!:roll: Now my trimmed "winter" beard goes when summer arrives.
