Geez.
I think I could do that good.
The mainz Calcei doesn't seem to have a tongue, and yet these boots do.
Does anybody have a pattern for the senatorial boot?
On other issues.
A clarification on the equestrian boot.
The open-toed boot elaborate military boot with animal heads are commonly seen on loricata are referred to most often in the art history literature as "equestrian boots" but this is an entirely arbitrary term as far as I know. We know that there were equestrian boots from literary sources, but I have no idea why that term became attached to the shoes we see on loricata.
