History

Which consequence increased during Byzantine silk production when Constantinople's water mills were over-taxed?

A)Faster silk protein denaturation
B)Reduced silk thread sericin content
C)Increased silk dye unevenness
D)Greater uniformity in silk texture

💡 Explanation

Increased taxation of Constantinople's water mills increased operational strain causing cavitation which impaired the machinery's speed regulation. Therefore, silk thread thickness became inconsistent leading to dye absorption irregularities, rather than uniform dye uptake.
