Quote:The Allendale Calcei dont appear in the archaeological record after the early 2nd century or so, I dont think I've ever seen them represented in the art record at all, though I think some earlier hellenistic shoes often copied on roman sculpture could possibly at a glance be mistaken for them.. perhaps that is the source of the mosaic shoes...
Maybe, there are some interesting shoes from the late Roman era that I don't know exactly how they were constructed. Take for example the Sandals of the Centurion in the Santa Maria's Slaughter of the Innocents Mosaic, or as I already mentioned the Cothurni in the Argos Museum Mosaic. Plenty of others too.
