Which is possible with the sagum and paenula, as Crispus's practical experience demonstrates.

Quote:you want socks, great!! Pick something in form and shape they may have been and use those.

Like those socks from Vindolanda, unless your impression is 4th-C or perhaps 3rd-C, and later, in which case naalbinding is extant. But this thread is about 1st-C. However, I think the question is why would a child's sock be any different to an adult's? What evidence is there for childrens' clothing that's any different in form and construction from the equivalent adult item of clothing, apart from size?
