Re: Did women in biblical times wear veils?

The above is a very interesting book about the women of the Roman Empire during the time of Paul the apostle. In 1st Corinthians 11 it is plain that the apostle is telling the church that a woman's hair was given her for a veil.
To understand the idea of the physical veil used in the time of Paul and the apostles is to also understand why Paul brought up the point why the hair of a woman was her veil. Also that a man with long uncut hair would make him look like a female, and therefore vial and disgusting. During the first century Rome, woman were throwing off their veils as a sign of leaving their position of matriarchs, wives, and virgin daughters. Paul (Freeborn Roman) explains to the Corinthian church that it is more an issue of a woman looking and acting like a woman, than just an issue of a veil. The sign of the submissive and obedient woman would be the long unhindered growth of long hair.
