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. | ||

Suspect. Laurel wreaths would make the world's worst toupee, as they are empty in the center, and provide the most coverage where balding men have the most hair. | ||

Probably hats were associated with people who work in the sun like farmers or soldiers.. Togas were also impractical clothing compared to a tunic. | ||

Every roman statue depicts politicians and leaders who lived in the city. Peasants, farmers did not get statues. |
