Hemp in the Roman era
#1
In a separate thread somebody suggested I use hemp fabric instead of linen for a heavy-duty project (in this case, a squamata backing).

Just wondering what the evidence was to support the use of hemp in the Roman era. Was it in use at the time? For rope? For fabric? Both?

Just curious.
