Hi Fabius,
I don't want to be a spoil-sport, but based on finds from other places, this type of shoe actually seems to be early 2nd century and phase out at about 130 AD. For mid-2nd cent onwards, the lower shoes (finds from Hardknot, Bar Hill, Saalburg) would be the norm AFAIK. You can see examples in Curle, Plate XX, nos 5 and 7 or here.
Quote:The shoes will be based on this example from the Newstead finds.
