Why didn't the Greeks and Romans wear pants like people who lived north of the Mediterranean? mainly clothing in the military sense
Maybe it's because of the heat? or perhaps for mobility reasons?

Why didn't the Greeks and Romans wear pants like people who lived north of the Mediterranean?
In roman times pants were unnecessary in the med region.
Romans adopted them as soon as they started expanding north, and by the time the climate got colder they became standard clothing all through society.
Same with the greeks really.
Ok.
it was the weather.
but why did the Persians and other Iranians wear pants? Even in Central Asia, at least not every year (the same in the Mediterranean) do they wear pants? I don't think the pants issue is global.
>but why did the Persians and other Iranians wear pants
I remember reading that persian pants are a remnant of median horse riding tradition.
Also there are some regions in Iran that get pretty fricking cold in the night.
the same with Greece.
certain regions get very cold.
And about riding, it's not wrong, but I read in a book (I'll show you which book it is) about the Persians and their clothing, and they wore pants even outside the riding standards.
Persian skirts weren't a thing.
Idiot
It snows even in MENA in winter
They needed pants
most of the questions IQfy asks have immediate answers in a book. books are things you read and can be obtained at a library. do you have a local library?
Do you send the same answer to all the topics you see here?
Or do you try to appear funny only here?
the topic there is no "read a book and don't ask" rule. If so, show me.
the topic is about history and any question is relevant, it does not depend on the knowledge of others.
moronic
>local library
I guarantee you that the local library has basically no good books on hand to answer these questions. The last time I was at my local library maybe a year ago, all they had was lgbt and Black Lives Matter picture books, some other random fiction books, books celebrating diversity, maybe some biographies on civil rights people, and maybe some books about the revolutionary war. There wasn’t shit outside of that.
I can't read
It's probably aesthetic.
I grew up in England and moved to the Mediterranean when I was 20, and honestly? the heat is not as extreme as they say. and at some times of the year it gets cold as hell.
what they said above for example, I've never been to central Asia, but I know a guy who went there and complained about the heat.....
It's probably aesthetic, Mediterranean clothes have always been shorter.
This photo is funny.
shows how barbaric everything is north of Macedonia and north of the Alps...
they are like comparing ps5 and ps1. pathetic, such barbarians.
the real answer is because "barbarians" like the Celts, Germans, Scythians, Canaanites, and Persians wore them and therefore to differentiate themselves from barbarians they distanced themselves from such customs and wore skirts and dresses instead
I'm not kidding
Wft dude?
Le med supremacist

To frick each other up the butt.
It’s no joke Homosexuality was rife and a very common thing back then
simple;
The Mycenaeans stole the culture of the Cretans, who were always walking around without complementary clothes and their women with their breasts showing. (not that I think it's bad. My wife asks me to caress her breasts for an hour a day)
The Mycenaeans copied this culture and its dress, and later they inserted it into the general Greek dress culture.
and Rome copied it.
I don't know the answer, but I'm SURE it was something Mediterranean.
In addition to the obvious, I want to say that this type of clothing was so common in the Mediterranean that we see this pattern from Egypt to the Iberian people.
Maybe it was a culture that spread, like the issue of male tanning, which was seen as masculine, etc.
Maybe it was something like that.
but I know who started it... I suspect it was the Egyptians
