. There may have been some reason to think it was known and forgotten before the Romans found out the hard way, or decided they didn’t care as you suggest

I’m pretty skeptical of this. I’ve never heard of any contemporary Roman source that implies the Romans knew of the dangers of lead exposure. The idea of lead poisoning leading being a contributor to the collapse of the Roman empire came millennia later.

Still total side track. Happy to start new thread on subject

Some sources disagree.
