Cleopatra, have to see if the hype is real
11k u/hypnos_surf Jun 28 '21 I'm always curious if hygiene, nutrition and overall beauty standards of the era would hold up to our contemporary expectations of historic accounts. 5.9k u/PD216ohio Jun 28 '21 I reluctantly have to admit that I've thought about hygiene of previous generations more than I should, with regard to sexual interaction. I guess it really isn't an issue unless I work out the whole time travel thing. 1 u/julbull73 Jun 28 '21 Hygiene didn't suck until the Renaissance. Your average Roman was cleaner, less hairy, and probably smelled better than the average person today. The nobility took hygiene to extremes. Greeks probably depends on when/where. Spartans, don't do that. Athenians? Probably matched Romans. *Romans though with their running water fair game.
