back to the point.
If there is no PROOF that the Romans did it, the "common sense" and "they could'a, should'a done it" are the difference between playing SCA and recreating and reenacting. You have proof that you can make socks from woven materials, and that they were worn in 1st and 2nd century, why would you want to wear knitted or naalbinded socks instead?
Sure the Romans had the ingredients for gunpowder, and the Chinese made gunpowder rockets from the same stuff, so then the Romans had gunpowder rockets, but we just haven't found it yet...... :roll: :? evil:
