Quote:If you refer to the caligae whose (re)production I documented here, yes, the leather should be thicker, see my post above from 24 May 2006.You say 2-3mm, I need to measure what I've used, but what weight is that? Also, I used two layers of 8oz leather glued together to make the outsole. Did you use something else? The insole was made from a single layer of 8oz leather with another layer of 6oz over that. My leather weights are guesses as I have no information as to what the Romans used.
