    Dude, can't you read? The word BARBAROS means NON-GREEK. It's usage was not the same as we use today (smelly, unsicilized, etc).

    And don't give me the Keltoi shit the rest of you Celt-lovers brag about. Fighting naked, sleeping with my fellow soldiers, and living in shacks and cottages isn't what I would call "civilized" my friend. Also, PLEASE don't give me the soap (not soup dude) shit all over again. If it was so effective, the Romaioi (who had a fetish for cleanliness) would have adopted the custom. You even know what a primitive form of soap looks like? Just a filthy-looking (and probably smelling as well) blob of fat and salts, that's ALL there is.

    Also, I hate moustaches. What you say about hairstyles is purely subjective, doesn't have anything to do with someone being civilized or not. Not to mention that if you have ever done some reading in your life, you'd know that most houses had baths in them in Ancient Greece. They had scented oils and various perfumes (the scraping off oil was used by those who excersiced, NOT for personal hygiene) to make them smell much better than a soap-using Keltos. There were also many public baths in Ancient Greece, and plentiful of them. As for Rome, you all know how obsessed they were with personal hygiene.

    Sheesh.
