First century shoe from Cologne

[Julia Langobardia]

as I promised Martin, here are some pics of the shoes I made for a friend after a first century find from Cologne (Domhof), Germany

unfortunately I could not take a picture with Manuelas feet inside the shoes, so you don`t really see that they fit her feet :?

Hi Chris,

thanks for the pics! Nicely done indeed. The tabs still need to be shortened I'd say, though.

The reference for that one would be

Schleiermacher, M.; Laurenze, C.: Römische Leder- und Textilfunde aus Köln, in Archäologisches Korrespondenzblatt 12, 1982, pp. 205-216.

if I'm not mistaken?

thanks for the reference, Martin!
I just could not find my copy of the article to quote it correctly :oops:

The tabs still need to be shortened I'd say, though.

yes, absolutely!
and they are still missing the little straps at the back you can see in the drawing...
I think they could have ended in little heart-shaped pendants?
