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!

yeah, calling rome “iron age” is kinda like calling us “industrial era”
