As the Loves and Graces reside more particularly
in the face, the Roman L.tdies were hardly more atten-
tive to the face itself than the decorations that sur•
rounded it. They had combs of boa and ivory for the
hair, the curls of which they fastened with gold and
silver pins. Besides these, they commonly stuck into
their hair pins set with pearl, and plaited it with chains
and rings of gold, or with purple or white ribbons,
shining with jewels and precious stones. They wore
mho in their ears rings of gold, loaded with peals
u,nd other jewels. But disposing of the
tainthir n various
items and figures, and interweaving the way
saluted to, were rot the only methods they made use
or for improving its appearance. Light coloured hair
had.,_ the preference of all others, both men and women
!"crlfuse dyed their hair of this colour ; then perfumed
st 'Pith meet scented essences, and powdered it with
geld dust, a custom of the highest extravagance,
srhich the Romans brought from As;a, and w hich.
according to Josephus, w .s practised amo;ig thi Jews.
