ltwilliammowett:Roman or Indian sail cloth, dating to the late-1st or early-2nd century AD© University of Southampton, 2016This brightly coloured textile was excavated from the site of Myos Hormos. It is originally from India and survived in such good condition due to the very dry conditions at the site. But it is not clear whether this is from an Indian merchant ship or from a Roman ship. As there were actually ships from different countries present in this port. -- source link
