| Feb 10, 2017 at 16:34 | comment | added | CGCampbell | Could the simple fact of lack of appropriate clothing for generating (and using steam) been an issue? (I know toga's weren't the only clothing types, but unfortunately when discussing ancient-greece and roman eras, that's what I think of. And working with steam in a toga doesn't seem particularly conducive to practicality. | |

| Feb 8, 2017 at 16:28 | comment | added | KorvinStarmast | I have edited this question to focus it on what was lacking in 1st century Greece for this invention to trigger a broader application of steam power. I hope it has moved away from counterfactual towards "what else is needed to take advantage of this invention that wasn't there" ... | |
