3rd-4th c roman shoes (Cuijk campagi images)
#18
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,
TITVS/Daniele Sabatini

... Tu modo nascenti puero, quo ferrea primum
desinet ac toto surget Gens Aurea mundo,
casta faue Lucina; tuus iam regnat Apollo ...


Vergilius, Bucolicae, ecloga IV, 4-10
