This passage is excerpted from an article discussing archaeologists' recovery of wooden combs from an ancient Roman fortress.
[br/When writing about combs, Roman archaeologists and ancient historians have nearly invariably associated these 'toilet articles' with female beauty and the mundus muliebris, the world of women. Such an interpretation is in striking contrast with many other periods of the European past, when combs appear to have been either ungendered or tokens of an exclusive male identity. From the Middle Bronze Age through to the Iron Age as well as in the Middle Ages, combs and other grooming tools often served as references to masculine beauty and as such became part of the grave furnishings arranged around the dead bodies of warriors. The question then comes to mind: why there would have been nothing of an equivalent in the Roman interlude? Moreover, the numerous finds that have recently been reported from various Roman army camps make one feel uneasy about the strengths of the traditional interpretation. Admittedly, the presence of women in and around Roman army camps is no longer a point of discussion, and some of the combs from such military contexts may indeed have been in use by the wives of officers or the concubines of ordinary soldiers, but can they account for the numbers that have been found? In view of these thoughts, one is tempted to consider whether the combs were perhaps rather used by the soldiers themselves.
