I am looking to purchase a pair of roman sandals. Late period.
I would also like to see some early also.
Thanks,
Lazarith

Re: Looking for roman sandals
Are you looking for sandals (i.e. civilian footwear) or caligae - the army's openwork boot - also after about 90 AD or so, they transitioned to a closed boot... so knowing what era you're interested in would be helpful.

Try "Soul of the Warrior"
Also "La Wren's Nest"
Boots by Bohemond can also make the late period shoe.. The Irish and Anglo

Re: Looking for roman sandals
Do you want them for SCA or do you want historically accurate versions?
