guy Posted May 1 Report Share Posted May 1 (edited) Here is a revision of a post from last summer about studies done on excavations found at a settlement near a Roman fort in Bavaria at Oberstimm, Germany. (The fort is thought to have been in use from AD 60 to 130.) The X-ray studies of the suspected sandal fragments (pictured above) showed that the shoe had well-preserved nails and was, in fact, a hob-nailed military sandal (pictured below). Below is recreation of a Roman caliga (a hobnailed Roman-boot worn by the Roman legionaries) https://www.zmescience.com/science/archaeology/ancient-roman-sandals-germany/ https://www.livescience.com/archaeology/romans/2000-year-old-roman-military-sandal-with-nails-for-traction-found-in-germany# https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Caligae Previous post about a suspected prostitute’s shoe: Edited May 1 by guy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
