>Of all the peoples who inhabit Asia the Gauls stand first in reputation for war. Among peoples of the most unwarlike sort this fierce tribe, traveling up and down in war, has almost made the world its residence. Tall bodies, long REDDISH HAIR, huge shields, very long swords; in addition, songs as they go into battle and yells and leapings and the dreadful din of arms as they clash shields according to some ancestral custom -all these are deliberately used to terrify their foes.
- Titus Livy, The History of Rome.
>For my own part, I agree with those who think that the tribes of Germany are free from all taint of inter-marriages with foreign nations, and that they appear as a distinct, unmixed race, like none but themselves. Hence, too, the same physical peculiarities throughout so vast a population. All have fierce blue eyes, RD HAIR, huge frames, fit only for a sudden exertion. They are less able to bear laborious work. Heat and thirst they cannot in the least endure; to cold and hunger their climate and their soil inure them.
- Tacitus, Germany and its Tribes.
>Among his own people, there is nothing distinctive about the colouring of an Ethiopian; nor is RED HAIR tied in a knot unbecoming to a German male. Nothing in an individual is noteworthy or ugly if it is common to his entire nation.
- The Roman writer Seneca.

>He now concentrated his attention on the imminent triumph. To supplement the few prisoners taken in frontier skirmishes and the deserters who had come over from the barbarians, he picked the tallest Gauls of the province - 'those worthy of a triumph' - and some of their chiefs as well, for his supposed train of captives. These had not only to grow their hair and DYE IT RED, but also to learn German and adopt German names.
- Suetonius, on the emperor Caligula's ceremonial parades of captives and criminals.

>Who were the original inhabitants of Britain, whether they were indigenous or foreign, is, as usual among barbarians, little known. Their physical characteristics are various and from these conclusions may be drawn. The RED HAIR and large limbs of the inhabitants of Caledonia point clearly to a German origin. The dark complexion of the Silures, their usually curly hair, and the fact that Spain is the opposite shore to them, are an evidence that Iberians of a former date crossed over and occupied these parts.
- Tacitus, The Life of Agricola.

Is it me or does it sounds like red hair was MUCH more common back in the day? Not only the Germans and Gauls are always referred to as redheaded but also the Scythians.
