I didn't think Caesar was a Native American.

From Quikshave.com: ' "50 B.C. -
In ROME, many men are following the grooming example of JULIUS CAESAR (101-44 B.C.), who has his facial hairs individually plucked out with tweezers every day." He also writes this same year that "the Britons shave every part of their body except their head and upper lip." '

JRC: Well, Caesar wasn't a very hirsute person, e.g. his early pattern baldness.

"It is easier to find men who will volunteer to die, than to find those who are willing to endure pain with patience." (Julius Caesar)

Some would have needed more patience than others.
