Caligae

[jvrjenivs]

I have recently heard that roman soldiers in Britain did not wear caligae by the second half of the first century CE and that no caligae were found there from this period. Instead Romans are said to have been wearing kind of boots that keep the whole foot covered. Is that true?

Multiple types of Calcei were found at Vindolanda, for instance. Best have a look at the website of martin Moser (http://sutor.jimbo.com) for a bit of info on shoes (and other leather items)
