Winter Clothing in 1st century AD legionary re-enactment

Quote:So together this makes up the whole evidence for socks?

The Vindolanda tablets mention socks and underpants. I doubt they'd be nallbinded, though (the socks, not the undies).

Tab. Vindol. II 346: "... I have sent (?) you ... pairs of socks from Sattua, two pairs of sandals and two pairs of underpants,..."

There's also the child's sock found at Vindolanda (not made using naalbinding).
