    In roman (in contrary to greek) paganism the priest would have covered head during rituals (google capite velato). I don’t know if and how much is it related to this, however.

    EDIT: After checking some commentaries, it seems it’s not this way; more like being uncovered/covered would mean being in/under authority, according to custom of that time and place.
