Shaving. The Romans were very particular about shaving. If you were a free man you would shave and if you were a slave you would have a beard. also the word barbarian ( Latin barba for beard) was used to describe tribes who were bearded.

It started as an ancient Egyptian custom and there are wall carvings to prove it. It seems to have its origin in snake worship. The Egyptians believed that when the snake shed its skin, and emerged shiny and new again, it was undergoing rebirth. They reasoned that if, by shedding skin, the snake could become apparently immortal, then humans should follow suit. They made the simple equation: snakeskin = foreskin, and the operation began. From there it spread to many Semetic peoples, both Arabs and Jews adopting it and converting it into an act of religious faith. As the centuries passed, it became popular in other regions of the world for moral, medical, or hygenic reasons.
From the book, Babywatching by Desmond Morris.

The foundations of our political and judicial systems.
Our founding fathers lived in the Neo-Classical era, a time when leaders, writers, and artists looked back to the ancient Greek and Roman civilizations (the Classical era) for inspiration and based much of our present-day forms of government on them.
