Santa Maggiore Mosaic

[XorX]

I think the shoes depicted might be similar to that of the Kemathen Warrior, whose shoes had a rather low edge and would have been more like a slipper. This could have been depicting lacing across the top of a similar style of shoe. Many Alemanns and Franks were serving in Roman Regiments at the time.

?? No shoes have been found with the Kemathen warrior??
The ones used in the reconstructions are based on the Stilicho dyptichon (as well as the trousers) and are campagi like the Deurne finds with no lacing up the leg
