Thanks for your comments, Ursinius!
Ok, this is one of the publications I still haven't had a chance to look at as it is not available in any of the libraries I have access to. (can anybody help me out here, perhaps?)
I will try and find that (the Bavarian State Library doesn't have it :-( ( ) - could you perhaps help me out with copies of the relevant pages?
Thanks for sheding some more light on this, I hope I will some day be able to get a look on the underlying find of this pattern! (I still suspect the straps of most reconstructions are way to broad ;-) ) )
Quote:The source of that pattern is Michael Simkins in his Osprey publication. I believe it was based on the german caligae from Cologne(?) published by Lindenschmitt in the 19th century and actually the same model as on the pic posted in this thread by Maurinus, so it is authentic?

R.M. van Dierendonck, D.P. Hallewas, K.E. Waugh (eds.), The Valkenburg Excavations 1985-1988, Introduction and Details Studies, Nederlandse Oudheden 15, Valkenburg Project 1
