Winter Clothing in 1st century AD legionary re-enactment
#30
Fine by me EmDem Smile

There have been a number of razor items that appear to show socks. This example shows a herringbone pattern. When compared to actual naalbinded socks, the pattern is different.

More razor handle socks from the Portable Antiquities Scheme:

CAM-DDFE12 also has a herringbone pattern.
GLO-443DF8 shows a ribbed top to the sock, while the rest of the sock is plain.

Dating for the handles is either mid 1st-C to 5th-C AD, or just 'ROMAN' :whistle:
