Roman Millitary Clothing (2) - Picture Query

[Flavius Promotus]

Rather old but still nice to read:

-van Driel-Murray, C., 1985, The production and supply of military leatherwork in the first and second centuries A.D.; a review of the archaeological evidence, in: Bishop, M. (Ed.), The Production and Distribution of Roman Military Equipment; Proceedings of the Second Roman Military Equipment Research Seminar (= BAR 275), Oxford, 43-81.

An excellent summary about Roman footwear can be found in:

-van Driel-Murray, C., 2001, Footwear in the North-Western Provinces of the Roman Empire. In: Goubitz, O., Driel-Murray, C. van, Groenman van Waateringe, W., Stepping through time. Archaeological footwear from prehistoric times until 1800, Zwolle: 337-376.

Hope that helps 8)

Florian has just posted up my sources... its a confusing field as far as I'm concerned, the 4th century seems to be poorly represented as far as actual finds go. Yet there are lots of examples of footwear in mosaics/paintings/sculpture.
