No kidding! :lol: :lol: :lol:
So where do all these designs come from?
I can't afford new caligae so soon! I only got the ones I use last year, and have only managed to attend one event, due to work schedules! The one's used by the other members of my group seemed to have even thicker leather than mine, although perhaps more open toed!
I saw the ones at vindolanda when Brian Stobbs took me around there! Also the cingulum straps with brass buttons, which was REALLY small and thin, as with the heather.organic centurion crest! In fact there are several organic remains at vindolanda!! A very interesting place!! Hope to return there again!
Yours look like some you see portrayed on sculptures Martin, but then there are others that seem to be of thicker, heavier construction? I know there is always the arguement that "you can't go by sculpture" for actual artifacts, but it seems if they were there, perhaps they were showing what they saw! There are many ways to skin a cat, after all!! (not speaking from literal experience there)
But then again, I like the open toed look yours portray, so maybe one day........... :roll:
