древние римляне о китайском импорте
the importation of Chinese silk caused a huge outflow of gold, and silk clothes were considered to be decadent and immoral:
“I can see clothes of silk, if materials that do not hide the body, nor even one's decency, can be called clothes… Wretched flocks of maids labour so that the adulteress may be visible through her thin dress, so that her husband has no more acquaintance than any outsider or foreigner with his wife's body” (Seneca the Younger (c.3 BC–65, Declamations Vol. I).
