Leather Squamata.......Really?

[Flavivs Aetivs]

Regarding Textile Supply, we had a discussion on the "Leather Musculata" and the ability of the Roman Army to supply it's soldiers with Chainmail on TWC (of which I was on the side that Chainmail was really good armor and the Empire certainly had the capability and did supply it's soldiers with Armor). So this brought up the Notitia (of course) and we were discussing centralized supply.

My point is though, that I came across several pieces on the Notitia (notably in A.D. Lee's Roman Warfare 300-425) that described the Centralization of Textile Manufacturing for the Army. I'll get you the exact page numbers in a moment.
