yh the Roman items are a later period than the one i'm interested in but they are very good and so for now i will use them
having really frustrating new problem with all the new items. they seem to vanish at the end of each day in the game (one or two at a time)
No problem, beats having vanilla items for the Romans. Here's a link to Faradon's items because he has a Kopis made in there and that can be used by Romans and Italians.
