Hi Cesar,
as you will have noticed, they are on both sides of the upper ending of the caliga and only have decorative value. Quite a few of the caligae finds have such decorative straps. It's a bit hard to see, but you can make at least one of them out on the pictures of the caligae I made, posted a couple of posts above. They are not in the pattern I posted, though, as they are not relevant there.
cheers,
Martin
