Quote:It seems unsatisfactory to stop inquiry with this conclusion. The Romans had dyes that would dye linen. Why wouldn't they dye linen? Other ancient people dyed their linen. In trade and commerce, why wouldn't Romans have acquired dyed linen?

Sunbleached linen would be an off white yellowy colour...
and I cannot fathom why they wouldn't dye linen. There is colour depicted in mosaics and frescoes....

Visne partem mei capere? Comminus agamus! * Me semper rogo, Quid faceret Iulius Caesar? * Confidence is a good thing! Overconfidence is too much of a good thing.
