No, the Romans just generally did not wear hats, particularly the upper classes. Every Roman statue ever depicts a full head of hair, occasionally with veils, wigs or hairnets, but not hats. Apparently even Caesar's famous laurel wreath was meant primarily as a disguise for baldness.

- ekianjo 1y agoEvery roman statue depicts politicians and leaders who lived in the city. Peasants, farmers did not get statues.
