Comacchio Roman Shipwreck - Neuraleanus - 02-17-2010

I recently acquired Osprey's "Imperial Roman Naval Forces 31BC - AD500" and there are several references to artifacts from the Comacchio shipwreck. On page 18 there is an illustration of caligae that were found. Unfortunately, the picture is somewhat small and I'm wondering whether a description of the finds had been published elsewhere, with hopefully better pictures.

I did some googling and found this: http://www2.rgzm.de/navis/ships/Ship050 ... oWreck.htm

If you go to the bottom there is a button that takes you to another page with images. You can click on the thumbnails to get big versions. Is what you are looking for in there?

Unfortunately, no. I'm not so much interested in the ship itself, but the artifacts found, particularly the caligae. There is a book that might have what I want, but it appears to be difficult to find:
