Luxembourg Campagus II

 

Campagus with separate outer sole. The original to this pair is a child's shoe, which is in the National History and Arts Museum in Luxembourg, and dated to the first half of the 4th cent. AD. The straps for fastening the shoe to the foot are integral to the pattern. This design feature seems to become commonplace in the 3rd cent. AD already, as can be witnessed in the Eyelet Boots so typical for that era.
