Yesterday I passed a barbershop and saw ads on their wall outside of men with beards and short hair. It is a revival or saving electricity ?

Beards are great. Shaving was the greatest crime of Romans.

??? Carthaginian men did not had that custom, most wore beards.

I think they meant the destruction of Carthage something I am still sore about

Yeah that too, if the Carthage was not destroyed it would serve as counterbalance to Romans at least for a time, and the vile shaving custom would not spread as much.
