Ok Titus, I shouldn't have to explain this, but the Romans had no concept of what a steam engine could do, to them that was nuclear fission. It's too easy to look in hindsight and go "well they could have done this and this with engines"
But yes, comparing implementing a steam engine compared to implementing pants is about the most ludacris comparison I have ever heard.
I didn't say the Romans used "everything", I said they used things that worked well for them, and my statement is true, I just gave several examples (chainmail, gallic helms, gladius, fighting formation, triumphs), honestly why do you not give that any credit? The fact of the matter is that the Romans did adopt pants, why are we arguing if they adopted them in AD 70 or AD 100?
