Best Answer

Yes, physical appearance was important to the ancient Romans. There was a belief that a person's character was shown to the world through his physical appearance so the Romans tried to minimize any flaw or "defect". For example, being bald was just about the worst defect that a politician could have. Lucius Ahenobarbus was convinced that he was never elected consul because he was bald and Julius Caesar invented the comb-over to hide his baldness. (and wore his civic crown in public because it kept his comb-over in place.)
