I open this thread, so we can post here those curious evidences. Big Grin

My first ones, from the Heitersheim Römermuseum, one "germanic" shoe, in the cellar of a villa (the Euro coin was on the glass over the print):

Sorry, all the pictures have an obscene size, I´m trying to fix this... :oops:

Why germanic? Its look like the normal roman hobnailed boot (calligae, etc).

Hobnails dont have to belong to a militar shoe...

The "hobnails" are only in the very edge of the footprint. The keeper said me they think they are actually stitching marks.

Sorry, I cannot tell you more :oops: . It even had no explanation (I asked the keeper after seeing the glass, I think myself that something interesant was being protected) 8)
