1. REPUBLICAN ROMANS

It isn't true that all the Romans shaved clean. Although most of the Romans in the time of the republic didn't have facial hair, but sometimes it happens the Romans with facial hair.


An example is Titus Quinctius Flamininus. He had a beard and mustache. Titus Quinctius Flamininus (c. 229 BC - c 174 BC) was a Roman politician and general instrumental in the Roman conquest of Greece. In 197 BC he defeated Philip at the Battle of Cynoscephalae in Thessaly, the Roman Legions making the Macedonian phalanx obsolete in the process. Coin with him:








2. ROMAN EMPIRE


Roman legionaries from the end of the 1st century AD very often have beards and mustaches:








EMPERORS:

Marcus Aurelius (Marcus Aurelius Antoninus Augustus; April 26, 121 AD – March 17, 180 AD), was Roman Emperor from 161 to 180.






Commodus (Marcus Aurelius Commodus Antoninus Augustus, 31 August, 161 AD – 31 December, 192 AD), was Roman Emperor from 180 to 192.

A lot of the members have been blinded by their passion for history and seem to forget this is a video game, rather than a simulator.

Factions will have colours, there will be funky units, they will all speak English. Its a game, just like GTA, Mass Effect, Dawn of War etc.

You sir, you simply qualified as a perfect human being, unlike those so-called "historical accuracy" and "realism" fanatics.
