Hi there!
I was following in Facebook a discussion about roman emperors. Someone claimed that "about ten roman emperors were described as light skinned blondes with blue eyes". I started to think about it and the only famous roman who I know with these attributes was Sulla. I asked about more info about these "blond" emperors an was told vaguely only to "check the literature". I know it was fashionable sometimes to put "gold dust" or some other substance to your hair but still, where is the evidence?
