Hobnailed or not, Aitor?

Vale,

Thanks, Daniele Big Grin

Campagi weren't hobnailed. In fact, they are flimsy shoes, useful for cavalrymen but not so for infantrymen.
Notwithstanding, the similar shoes depicted at the Venice's Tetrarchs seem to have an attached outer sole and, therefore, could be hobnailed :?

If the Venice's Tetrarchs campagi could have hobnails (and if those outer soles were not for looking taller...), could they be also assumed like campaign (and so battle) shoes for a first line tribunus/comes? Or better, if you were a early-mid IV century high officer would you have used such kind of shoes in battle (on summertime)?

Vale,

All military depicted on the Piazza Armerina Great Hunt and all the officers on the Luxor wall-paintings are wearing flimsy non-soled campagi.
Up-till-now, all the actual campagi recovered (Vindolanda, Deurne, Cuijk) hd no out-sole.
And thaat is as far as we reach... :?

Great shoes but... Are there any examples of more sturdy late roman military boots, I mean I would like all the goths to hear from a distance that there is at least one very pissed off late roman left marching towards them... Seriously, any examples of heavier shoes?

Re: 3rd-4th c roman shoes (Cuijk campagi images) - aitor iriarte - 04-13-2007

Unfortunately not, Jyrki Sad

There are a pair of hobnailed shoes (Low ones, not boots) from York, but I have only seen a couple of not very useful drawings from them :?

ThatÂ´s strange, Aitor! There must have been some more heavy-duty shoes for more rugged terrains, I`m sure. Anyway we must stick with the evidence we have right now :wink: ...

Aitor, did you see the pictures before?

Re: 3rd-4th c roman shoes (Cuijk campagi images) - Primvs Pavlvs - 04-13-2007

Would it be feasible to make this pattern with an external sole, then hobnail them?

Robert,

Which pictures are you referring to? If you mean the ones you've posted I say: 'Only a pair of them' The shoe with open-work upper reminds me of the Damendorf shoes.

Paul,
Probably you would get something like the Tetrarch's shoes at Venice:

I advise you to start from a symmetric campagus, like the one reconstructed from Cuijk :wink:
