Senatus Pubulusque Romanus

Ok, well, after doing a little bit of research (thank god for Google and the TWOP forums), it seems that the ancient Egyptians were clean shaven down there, and that the Romans were also aware of how to shave and how to use various sugars or other substances to a way to shape the pubes. So it's possible that that's why they're fairly shaved. And there's the whole big thing about those strigils that were used to clean the oil off bodies to clean them, since they had no soap. That probably took a lot of hair off someone, even if that wasn't the original plan. And who's to say that women didn't get the same treatment? Maybe Romans were ahead of their time. Because I bet that few women in the Dark Ages were clean-shaven. Probably why they called it the Dark Ages.

I'm sure someone at the show thought of this already (I mean, it's not like they went to that much effort to get the rest of the show right and then miss the thing that would be focused on more than almost anything else in the show, right?), so maybe I'm putting too much thought into this. I guess the real test will be when they start on the full frontal male nudity. Unless they've all decided to go Jewish.
