It gets cold here. Should be good enough for them.

The Romans wore thick socks under their sandals in places with unbearably cold climates, like England. I don’t know if they wore pants though… 🤔

Sound like german dad at bbq in winter.
Show threadlime!May 22
were pants even invented at that time? i thought they were relatively recent, like 1500 or so.

leggings in that context aren’t pants, they’re basically loose legs that you tie to your belt.

Iron age
Show threadrumschlumpelMay 22
Iron age was 1200 - 550 BC, Ötzi lived ~3200 BC, which actually puts him in the chalcolithic/copper age (he even had a copper axe). So we were both wrong!

Sorry I missed that it’d moved from Rome lol
Show threadrumschlumpelMay 22
Most of the Roman history that’s talked about here wasn’t part of the iron age, either!
Show threadSwedneckMay 26
yeah, calling rome “iron age” is kinda like calling us “industrial era”

Isn’t the joke that the Germans used them and the Romans didn’t like the idea (of neither Germans or doing anything that they did)?
Show threadlime!May 22
were germans even invented at that time?
Show threadrumschlumpelMay 22
Germans =/= Germanic tribes, but it’s clear from the context.
Show threadlime!May 22
ah germanic humor
Show threadrumschlumpelMay 22
There are are only 4 humors and “germanic” isn’t one of them. May I interest you in some phlegm?

You’re talking a lot of smack for someone who’s in miasma range
Show threadSeptimaeusMay 22
But the ever-germane smack only allemannic engineering can offer

Celts and Germanic peoples wore clothing that were recognizably trousers (and not leggings).

Trousers saw a revival in Western fashion in the early modern period, but had ‘existed’ since long before.
