Or it's setting up for him to visit River with a new haircut and give her a sonic.
I don't recall any other serial in which the Doctor sports a toga, although he has visited the Roman era of course since then.
However the novel "State of Change" does have the Sixth Doctor wearing Roman robes on the cover. There's also a scene where the Doctor "degenerates" so technically all his predecessors wear the toga.
Speaking of State of Change it looks like this season finale has some things in common with it...the anachronisms are similar, as is the partial Egyptian/Roman setting. Then again, could be completely different:
Here's a summary of the novel:

BTW I think the "Tomb of the Silence" shown might have something to do with filming reports earlier in the year of an Egyptian tomb being filmed with Howard Carter (It was presumed at the time that they were digging up Cybermen or something, but that appears to not be the case). So perhaps Howard Carter is our next 'historical celebrity' along with recurring Churchill and Dickens.

Yeah, that's what I got too.
You assume wrong - it's 45 minutes. Of course they won't need to leave room for a Xmas special trailer, since they only started filming last week. (Similarly, the special won't have a trailer for next season, as they won't start filming the season until February)
They're on io9 too.
Yeah, that's what I got too.
They're on io9 too.Object not found.
Yeah, that's what I got too.
Every time io9 introduces new gallery software, it becomes less useful.

Sweet, thanks.
I'm not sure how Big Hair Doctor can be the 1103 year old Doctor. We saw him this week when he was
Mark
...Literally one day from his supposed death at Lake Silencio, and he looked no different. Likewise, in "The Impossible Astronaut" his hair was quite normal looking. Methinks that further temporal shenanigans are a-coming.

Or they don't give a shit about scene-to-scene continuity.
A good example of that is last year in "The Big Bang" where the Doctor's hair during the rewind didn't match up with the scene they filmed for the rewind during the "Angels" 2-parter because Matt Smith's hair had grown out over the ensuing nine months and was styled differently.
Or "Big Hair" Doctor could be from the 200 years that are apparentally between The God Complex and Closing Time. A couple of changes in hair style over a 200 year period is not a continuity error.
Didn't Matt Smith's hair change between End of Time and Eleventh Hour a bit as well? It seems a bit longer. Maybe the hair was still regenerating... (Or probably because similar to what Allyn Gibson said,EH was filmed after the Angels Two-parter).
The worst hair continuity has to be Peter Davison in his first year.In Castrovalva he's got the hair he would have for pretty much the rest of his run, but in the next story, Four To Doomsday (Which was filmed first) it's short. The hair kind of fluctuates for a while until it 'settles' around Earthshock.
Likewise I think Tom Baker grew his hair to the familiar curly style between Planet of the Spider's regeneration and Robot.

Seeing the Silents wasn't the problem - remembering them was. As the Doctor is shown wearing an eyepatch, I guess this implies that he survives the encounter with the astronaut at Lake Silencio, which isn't really a surprise. I expect him to use the Teselecta to fake his own death. I hope I'm wrong.
And im guessing the eye patch lets look see them a certain way that allows you to retain your memory of them. It probably perception filter related some how.
