History

Which consequence resulted from Byzantine regulation of silk thread production using standardized weighting?

A)Tax collection more dependable amounts
B)Faster adoption of the Jacquard loom
C)Easier detection of counterfeit textiles
D)Greater profits on exported ceramics

💡 Explanation

Regulation led to easier counterfeit textile detection because standardized weighting made deviations apparent, revealing fraudulent practices using materials other than pure silk via density differences. Therefore, the ability to detect fraud was increased, rather than solely supporting more accurate taxation.
