to build calcei Vindolanda - Velite - 06-06-2007

I wish to build a pair of calcei type Vindolanda, but on Internt I don't find a pattern to be able to use.

Can someone of you point out me a site where to be able to find the pattern of the calceis type Vindolanda?

Thanks to everybody

The best description that I know of for making Calcei is:

Thanks for your information Neuraleanus .

Speaking of this site, the problem for me is that I don't succeed in visualizing the photos.
I cannot visualize the photos but I don't know the why

What a pity!

Can someone help me?

Which one do you actually think of? There is no single type Vindolanda, I'm afraid.

There is no such site AFAIK. You could start with
Driel-Murray, C. van, John Peter Wild et al.: Vindolanda. Research Reports, New Series. Vol. III The Early Wooden Forts. 1993
and
Driel-Murray, C. van: Footwear in the North-Western Provinces of the Roman Empire. in Goubitz/Van Driel-Murray/Groenman-van Wateringe: Stepping Through Time. Archeological Footwear from Prehistoric Times until 1800, Zwolle 2001.

In order to help you, we would need some detailed information on what exactly you cannot visualize/do not understand. Could you describe the problems you are facing, please?

I have the same problem here at work -- we have so many security filters on our internet access that the photos and photobucket downloads are not visible.

My home computer works fine -- so if you are at home, perhaps you could disable some of your security protocols and then I believe that the pictures on the site would be visible.
