Yes, kistlerj, they were imbedded on the sole. Made it a whole lot easier to keep your footing while advancing over a pile of dead Celts.
Interesting idea about the anti-elephant defence. My question is would the hobnails be even big enough to slow an elephant down? The spikes on a tribulus were far larger than these. I've never read what the exact dimensions are but they appear to have spikes roughly 2.5 to 3 inches long. That would seem to make more sense in an anti-elephant role.
