Pteruges - a.k.a. the ancient kilt/hula skirt combo. Part of the Roman military uniform, it is both functional and stylish, created with strips of leather and metal studs
Short-n-curly Hair - popularized by Nero, who framed his face with curls. I can see why it became so popular. With the rise of the perm, it appears Nero’s influence reaches far beyond the grave and crowns the head of every teenage boy. I say this is a keeper for now, since anything is better than frosted tips.
Beetle Cosmetics - To get the classic red lip (so favored by Cleopatra) Roman women would grind up beetles, beeswax, and rose petals to get just the right hue. I would honestly prefer something natural over something potentially poisonous or harmful in modern times, so I say beetle cosmetics can stay for a little while longer.
Mohawk Helmets - The standard for a Roman military uniform of higher rank, these give the same energy as mullets. I simply cannot endorse them, and they need to be put in Tartarus.
Toga Pulla - Think of the ancient equivalent of a little black dress. For funerals, yes, but also excellent for becoming a midnight vigilante, dressing for revenge, or hiding at the witching hour. The LBD can stay forever.
