As a rule of thumb long hair was more common in Europe with length reflecting your status. We know the bible bans long hair in the old testament so it's a safe bet most on the middle east had short hair

Bible didn't come before Roman Empire.

No, it has always been a symbol of power
Short hair was mostly for slaves and maybe some religious people

[SiberFox]

Probably not
