If I remember correctly, the Romans only ever produced quite poor-quality steel. What if their engineers and smiths got hold of a method to produce high-quality, cheap steel? Would this discovery have a great impact on the fall of Rome? And in that case, how? And would the period in which this steel was discovered have mattered? What would the social implications be because of this? And, what would the military make of this?
