Me and my friend are making a game based in Roman times. We want to get the era pretty right. I say miss time during Julius Ceaser's time. Not asking for everyone to do my research but I am stumped on one part. Have no idea how they cut and processed lumber. Tried looking it up on Google and maybe "how romans cut lumber" or "Roman lumber axes" wasn't good enough for Google but I can't find anything on this. Anyone know a good sure or book to get with all this kind of stuff in it?

This guy makes a ton of cool videos about Romans. You could probably ask him where to find specific resources about the things your looking for.

I know everything about the roman way of life

Theyd wake up, do some stuff, eat a thing, go to sleep(not necessarily in that order). They were adamant about this daily routine and would continue it throughout their lives.

Dude, I'm from the old days from like 2000+ years ago, and I've been dead most of that time. I don't remember shit about my life from back then.

sounds like your timeframe might predate sawmills completely. the link that was already posted looks better than what I can find so far. might as well post this anyway.

I heard they were human. But it wasn't from a credible source, so IDK.
