Roman calceus

The intricately punched, 2,000-year-old Roman leather shoe excavated at the Saalburg fort in Germany in 1907 belonged to a wealthy, high status woman. The shoe dates to the first half of the 2nd century. (100–150 AD). The stylish calceus (a type of enclosed shoe), survived for two millennia because the oxygen-poor, waterlogged environment it was found in drastically slowed decomposition. In ancient Rome, women’s shoes were decorated with embroidery, motifs and often with lace, displaying the wealth and social status of the Roman woman who wore them. Saalburg was a Roman fort on the summit of Mount Tanus and part of Roman border fortifications. With the surrounding village, the fort was home to about 2,000 Romans in its heyday.

The Saalburg fort was constructed in 90 A.D. and remained in operation until 260 A.D.
