haha I had no idea that the people living in the byzantine
empire were forced to wear sandals and robes so that they would not look like
Germanic peoples! I do not know
why I find this so funny but they were so afraid of barbarian attacks that no
one in the empire could wear anything resembling a barbarian, like boots,
trousers, animal skin clothing or have long hair. It seems a bit over the top to me. I know that most of the change in the west was for the best
but there was so much deforestation and it just kind of saddens me that so much
of nature is destroyed for human use.
