Sandals/Boots.

[Geoff5]

I`m slowly, but surely getting myself kitted out, with kit and armor etc, for a legionary that would have been in Briton, between 30ad and 60ad. What were the the types of footwear that I should be looking for. Are there a few types I could choose from perhaps?

Thanks.
Geoff.

Further to my above post. Other than Mainz boots, which seem to be very expensive, what other options would there be that I could get that would still be accurate for a legionary in Briton, 30ad to 60ad?

Ta, very much, thanks.
Geoff.

Caligae should always be your first port of call for a first century AD impression. There are a number of patterns to choose from. It is true that later on enclosed footwear was being worn in Britain, but there is nothing wrong with caligae, whatever the weather. In warm weather wear them without socks; in cold weather wear them with socks and lower leg coverings.
