If you go for a bear pelt, make sure it isn't a native American species! The Romans didn't have access to them!

But wouldn't a Roman have used pelts from whatever area they were in at the time?
Yes Brian, but I can't think of one shred of evidence to suggest that the Romans ever made it to North America!
.... Stick to European species (brown bear) if at all possible! :wink:
Peronis, I think European bears are a little on the scarce side, and importing furs into the US would probably be illegal.....
As it is just as illogical to import european leather to america, when they have an ample supply of their own, I would think the use of american brown bear pelts should be acceptable. Also, I think they have/had black bears here in Europe too :?:
