Wasn't Nero a fat blond? (Original Post)

OP

(3,647 posts)1. He is in the current incarnation.
Aristus
(66,388 posts)2. For decades, he has been portrayed as a redhead.
Likely because his family, the Ahenobarbus ("red beard" ) clan, was known for that trait.
But the ancient primary sources state that his hair was 'light blonde'.

smirkymonkey
(63,221 posts)4. Apparently, he was rather Celtic looking.
Here is an artist's life-like recreation from a sculpture of him...
Kind of looked like a lepruchaun.
The Velveteen Ocelot
(115,734 posts)5. He looks like the kid who took the other kids' lunch money
and gave them wedgies before stuffing them in their lockers.
True Blue American

Buckeye_Democrat
(14,855 posts)8. Reminds me of the redheaded kid in this movie.
Lol, I try not to stereotype redheads because I went through a "redhead period" in my childhood. My hair changed from blonde, to red and finally to brown.
Treated great as a "cute blonde kid" to suddenly getting blamed for almost everything by the teachers, who were okay with redheaded minorities being the butt of classmate jokes (but not other minorities).
Edit: Brown hair now, but my beard is YELLOW. I'm such a mutt! (Taking this time away from work to see how it looks as it becomes more full. Doubt that I keep it!)
Wounded Bear
(58,670 posts)7. I doubt that we really know...
making portraits and statues of kings and emperors can be dangerous work.

(33,345 posts)9. Trump is BALD
who knows what color the remainder of his hair really is?
Buckeye_Democrat
(14,855 posts)10. Yes, he had scalp reduction surgeries to basically...
... keep pulling the hair from the back of his head toward the front. It's partly why it looks so weird. That hair has a tendency to grow toward the back.
Such a vain asshole.

Buckeye_Democrat
(14,855 posts)12. Ugh, and I don't even want to imagine the orange-spray...
... process.
Maybe he gets naked and Ivanka does it?
