What have the Romans ever done for us (socks and sandals excepted)?

From the Indy

"They gave the world decent roads, indoor plumbing and some of the goriest spectator sports known to man, but now it appears that the Romans made a hitherto secret contribution to global civilisation by pioneering the wearing of socks with sandals."

Never really understood why socks and sandals is apparently a faux-pas though.
