Quote:Now, can anyone explain to me that while the arm did perhaps not need protection, but the leg apparently did, why the feet were not protected at all? hock:

Caligae have that raised ridge for most of the full length of the foot, which may have offered some protection from being stomped on. I'll also dig out one of the latest Osprey Roman books showing sturdy boots worn on one foot only (can't remember the source but it is attested to in the primary sources), the other foot bare, which IIRC was later practised by peasants.
