  • A Roman Frontier Post and Its People
    CHAPTER IX Dress and Armour As we gather together the relics brought to light from the abandoned wells and rubbish-pits at Newstead, the figure of the Roman soldier inevitably rises before us. It is a figure rendered familiar by the great monuments which commemorate Imperial triumphs, and by the portrait-reliefs which once stood above the graves of centurions, cavalry soldiers, or standard-bearers recalling to the passers-by the likeness of the dead. It is to such memorials, and to the scanty finds of weapons and armour which have been preserved to our time, that we owe most of the knowledge we possess regarding the arms and equipment of the army of the Empire. The columns and the triumphal arches furnish us with a series of pictures of the soldier in action. The victories of Trajan over the Dacians are sculptured on the column which he had set up in Rome in A.D. 104. The triumphs of Marcus Aurelius over the Marcomanni are unfolded in the reliefs decorating the huge pillar that gives its name to the Piazza Colonna. We follow each stage in the campaigns, the army making roads, building bridges, constructing forts, attacking and attacked. Many details are given which help us to realise vividly the scenes commemorated. No doubt in such sculptures, executed, as they were, in Rome, the artists drew their inspiration to some extent from older Hellenic models, and there thus enters into the treatment a somewhat conventional element. The grave stones of the legionaries or auxiliaries, on the other hand, are probably more exact in details.

    Magical Clothing fo r Discerning Adventurers Anja Svare Sample file Introduction Table of Contents I really like making magic items.

Potions are all essentially the same, scrolls don’t really have much interest Outerwear 6 other than what spell they contain, you’ve got a few interesting things that aren’t weapons or armor, but that’s about it. Most of those will either break a game because of their power, or Headwear 12 they should require a massive quest of campaign-level, world- spanning heroics to obtain. There just aren’t a lot of items that everyday adventurers want, Footwear 14 that won’t break the bank so to speak, and are things that are actually useful. Everybody wears clothes (I don’t want to think about nude D&D), and everybody loves magic items for their Accessories 16 character.. Combining the two seemed like a good idea, but I didn’t want Special Orders 20 to go with just pants, shirts, etc. I scoured the internet for medieval period clothing, and narrowed down a list of items that were common across a wide range of times and places throughout Europe during the Middle Ages. Now, I did come Glossary 22 across some interesting clothing items that fell outside that range or geography, and a few are included here. None of the items presented here are gender specific. I intentionally left any mention of that out of each item.

    History 341: Lecture 6 [Professor Williams]: Awate discipulae. [Class]: Awate discipulae. [Professor Williams]: Well we’re here in Rome. The Forum is behind us, the temple of Anthestines in the background here. Just above us over here we have the Temple of Saturn. It’s in a rather poor shape. We’re just here trying to give you a sense of Rome and what a toga was like. The roman dress of the magistrate. And I am going to let you see a little more of what the toga was like and fundamentally give an idea of the roman clothing. So we will start here by removing a microphone that didn’t exist so forget this one. We need an overhead I think. I have a slave outside camera range here. This is the toga. It’s about eighteen feet long; it should be about six feet high there about. It should be made out of wool entirely; this is made out of a JC Penny’s cotton sheet because I was too cheap to buy this much wool. In any case it should be basically a semi circle of material. It is impractical to use for anything other than being in Politics standing around not doing anything in other words or to be a college professor it’s about the same thing. You need a slave to help put it on. I have a slave here, come here Krystal. Now we will show you how it is actually put on. The front should come almost to the ground. And it goes over the side.

  • Footwear the Standard Military Footwear of the Republican and Early
    Footwear The standard military footwear of the republican and early imperial Roman army was the caliga, some kind of nailed sandal: (a caliga from COH XXVI CRV) However, from the Trajanic period on (at the latest), the caligae were gradually replaced by closed shoes or boots, the calcei. This transformation of footwear seems to have taken place especially in the 2nd century AD, although the use of sandals never completely broke off. The type of footwear chosen for the ‘Trans Alpes’ project was a closed boot of which (slightly different) specimen had been found at several places in the northwestern provinces, including the Saalburg, Weiblingen, Walheim (G) and Vindolanda (GB). A total number of 11 pairs were made by Marquita Volken from ‘Gentle Craft’ (a private archaeological shoe museum at Lausanne in Switzerland). Interestingly, the reproduction of so many shoes within a limited space of time showed how they could easily be mass-produced with a minimal waste of leather. The uppers of this kind of boot (also called the “Ramshaw-boot” by Carol van Driel- Murray) are made of a single piece of leather (including the laces) sewn together at the front. The laces are led in a criss-cross pattern through a number of four eyelets on each side before they get tied together. Although civilian use of the “Ramshaw” is possible, the strong nailing pattern suggests a military use. Roughly 100 hobnails were used for each shoe, giving it a strong grip on muddy terrain. Only two other types of shoes were used during ‘Trans Alpes’. One of the archers (Johannes Felix) marched in a pair of boots based on findings from the Saalburg: These boots (made in Britain) were made of rather thin leather and, despite a regular treatment with neatsfoot oil, got so deformed after a day of heavy rainfall that marching with them became impossible.

  • The Construction of Military Identity Through Footwear in Rome and the Provinces
    Putting Your Best Foot Forward: the construction of military identity through footwear in Rome and the provinces Elizabeth Wolfram Thill Paper presented at the 122nd Annual Meeting of the Archaeological Institute of America, 5-10 January, virtual [Slide 1] The importance of personal adornment in ancient life is one of the most evocative points of connection between the past and the present. Although we cannot witness a chariot race in the Circus Maximus, many of us have decked ourselves from head toe to express our identity as fans of a particular sports team. Consequently, ancient fashion has long been a topic of academic interest, particularly for those rare elements that survive best in the archaeological record, namely jewelry for women and military equipment for men. But these same adornments skew towards elite, highly specialized situations. Less well studied are the more routine fashion choices made by those outside the elite strata of society. One relevant overlooked category of material is the focus of this colloquium: Roman shoes. Just as for today, shoes were ubiquitous in the Roman world and served a spectrum of purposes, from the purely practical to the purely symbolic, with considerable variation across class and social status. This paper takes as a methodological case study the use of shoes to express a particular identity in a particular context: the Roman soldier within the visual culture of the capital city. In particular, I will explore how the connection between shoes and this cultural identity was understood, utilized, and exploited for aimes far removed from either battle or footwear.

The study area comprises Roman sites on or immediately to the south of Hadrian’s Wall and all sites to the north. Leather has been recovered from 52 Roman sites, totalling at least 14,215 finds comprising manufactured goods, waste leather from leatherworking and miscellaneous/unidentifiable material. This thesis explores how leather and leather goods were resourced, processed, manufactured and supplied across northern Britain.
