weapons and armour of the greek marine
#5
The planks of the trireme are not unkind to bare feet.

A number of statues had been found to have painted foot ware.
The state of many scratched pottery images leaves a lot to interpretation.
Red paint from hematite has disappeared almost without traces from much pottery images.

Ancient shoes are from perishable material and almost none survived

Many Balkan farmers went barefoot from their village to the dirt roads leading to their fields untill 1960 but they wore boots when going hunting!

Kind regards
