Thats what keeps me interested...
A Solea from Billingsgate for a child, most likely based on size for a girl of around 3 years old?..
Its an exact fac simile of the adult version, the upper could take a number of forms, the one shown which is based on Sulpicia Lepidina's solea from Vindolanda or could be quite a variety of others generally involving straps...
Date is around 90ad so is also contemporary with Vindolanda.. over all a quite common type for northern europe.
Length: around 16cm but was likely originally a little larger.
Length 16.5cm
Reference: Excavations at Billingsgate Buildings 'Triangle', Lower Thames Street 1974
Page 118, Fig 66, No614.

"And the four bare walls stand on the seashore. a wreck a skeleton a monument of that instability and vicissitude to which all things human are subject. Not a dwelling within sight, and the farm labourer, and curious traveller, are the only persons that ever visit the scene where once so many thousands were congregated." T.Lewin 1867
