Here's what's said about Caligula[1]: > hair and beard worn long for a time after death of his sister. Humans are curious beings. If my memory serves right his sister died AFTER Caligula went nuts so at this point in his life he had already gone murderous after recovering from an almost fatal sickness (or poisoned) but when his sister died of fever his murderous psycho heart must have felt so broken (or perhaps felt a bit nihilist) he grew full beard. Maybe there's a human history of letting beards grow when shit happens.
