Greetings,all.
An earlier thread caused me to pose this question.
What was the footwear of the early Greek soldiers?
I know, it depends on the time period, but generally.
Most often I think of the open-toed boot type of sandals worn
by Steve Reeves or Richard Burton but once again that's movies.
I realize many people went barefoot but a soldier marching
many miles hopefully had some form of protection.
I know of a Greek type sandal that's mostly a sole-thong
laced around the foot.Would this be close?
(I bet Stefanos knows this)
Thanks.
