Costumes + Hairstyles

I’ve just finished watching both series of this programme, and had some ideas that I wanted to share here on the boards. I’ll be posting a couple of different threads on different topics.
Overall, I thoroughly enjoyed Roman Mysteries, and anything I have to say about it should not be taken as too harsh of a criticism.
As far as costumes & hairstyles, there are a couple of things that I would’ve done differently.
For the Roman (and Greek) characters, I think that it’s fairly obvious to see where they went wrong for anyone who is familiar with the art of the period.
Long sleeves and trousers of any kind should have been avoided.
More accurate tunics, pallas, cloaks, capes, togas, stolas, chitons, himations, footwear, etc. could’ve been made than what was seen onscreen.
Long hair for men and boys should’ve been avoided (especially in the second series), and different hairstyles should’ve been used for the female characters.
Also, any beards seen on Roman or Greek characters should’ve been kept very short – at least shorter than the beards of the Jewish characters.
For the Jewish characters, the men and boys should have had peyot (the sidelocks/sidecurls of modern-day Orthodox Jews).
The men should’ve had long (preferably curly) beards. They may very well have kept their moustaches shaved, but not necessarily.
It wouldn’t have been necessary to depict the male Jewish characters with long hair. They may very well have kept it short (other than the peyot and beard) in a more Roman or Greek style, but not necessarily.
As far as the clothing of Jewish men & boys, it should’ve been very similar to what Greek men wore, but elbows and knees should’ve been well covered (although amongst Jewish men, long sleeves and ankle-length robes were only worn by the Priests in the Temple in Jerusalem), and fringes & tassels should’ve been present (most likely on a cloak or shawl). The head should’ve also been covered, possibly by a turban of some sort, or more likely by a large, felt skullcap, nearly identical to the Albanian qeleshe.
The female Jewish characters, their hair, arms, and legs should’ve been completely covered, and they should’ve worn garments with very high necklines.
Then again, Jonathan’s family doesn’t seem to be particularly religiously observant (especially in their relationships with non-Jews), so maybe they wouldn’t have adhered to the norms of Jewish dress of the time.
