      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… 🤔

        They did when it got cold! Notably, when the Legions based at the German border came to Rome during the Year of the Four Emperors in 69 AD (nice), the population of Rome were shocked that the legionaries, their fellow Romans, were wearing TROUSERS!

        A Roman does what he has to to stay warm!
