| The article examines the types of animal fibre listed in Chapter XXV ‘On Wool’ in Diocletian’s Edict on Maximum Prices (AD 301). Wool from the leading sheep-rearing regions, the fibres from the mussel pinna nobilis, wool from rabbit or hare and – more controversially – ‘cashmere’ from ‘Aria’ all figure in Chapter XXV and are considered here from an archaeological perspective. | |||
