Portrait of Julius Caesar to Domitian
Fuisse traditur excelsa statura, colore candido, teretibus membris, ore paulo pleniore, nigris vegetisque oculis, valitudine prospera, nisi quod tempore extremo repente animo linqui atque etiam per somnum exterreri solebat. 2 Circa corporis curam morosior, non solum tondebatur diligenter ac radebatur, sed etiam vellebatur; calvitii vero deformitatem iniquissime ferret. Ideoque et deficientem capillum revocare a vertice adsueverat et ex omnibus decretis sibi a senatu populoque honoribus non aliud aut recepit aut usurpavit libentius quam lauream coronam.
Traduzione
Si dice che fosse d'alta statura, di carnagione bianca, di membra ben tornite, di volto piuttosto pieno di occhi neri e vivaci, di buona salute: se non that recently used to suffer from sudden fainting and even during sleep terrors. In the care of his body was too meticulous, so that not only did you cut your hair and shave with care, but also epilates. Not giving the peace of his baldness. And so was accustomed to take down from the top of the head hair and the poor among all the honors that were conferred by the Senate and the people received no more willingly if practiced or not (the right to bear) the laurel wreath
