Mystery over ‘unusually large’ Roman shoes unearthed
Archaeologists remained confused after revealing 2,000 -year -old Roman shoes in Northumberland.
Earlier this year, at least 30 cm (11.8) in Magna Roman Fort, eight shoes – England was discovered in 13 to 14 magnitude.
Archaeologist Rachel Frame said that all leather shoes were found in the defense trenches used by Romans as garbage dump.
“We should assume that this is about something about this living here, with larger feet, potentially longer, but we don’t know.” Told to BBC.
“Are people living there from a certain area there? So can their shoes be so big? But now, this is unusual.”
According to the DR frame, leather shoes have been preserved for centuries due to low oxygen conditions in the soil in the regions.
Western Ontario University and Vindoland’s shoe expert Associate Professor Dr Elizabeth Gree saw and measured every shoe in the field.
He said: “I think there is something very different here in Magna. It is clear that even this small example is revealed, that these shoes are much larger than most of them.”
Last year, a part of one of the most important Roman roads of England was revealed in a “remarkable çok archaeological discovery in Southeast London.
The 2,000 -year -old Road, known as Watling Street, ran from London to West Midlands from Rome in Dover.
The 276 miles were built in 43 AD shortly after the Roman invasion of England, and when he ordered the construction of the wall separating England and Scotland, he was used to visit the emperors, including Hadrian at 122 AD.
Archaeologist Gillian King said that the discovery has redesigned the Roman road map in the capital. “An important finding for archaeological research for London.”
The road section revealed lies in the south of the Old Kent Road and Ilderton Road junction and was well preserved with a height of about 5.8m wide (5.4 m) about 5.8m wide.
The Southwark Council said that different layers could be seen and showed a fixed compressed gravel foundation closed with two layers of chalk before filled with another compressed sand and gravel layer.
He added that the original surface of the road would probably be made of the same material and sit at a level similar to the modern road, but that it would be lost in time.
The London part of Watling Street was rediscovered in 1666 after Christopher Wren’s Great Fire in 1666 during the reconstruction of St Mary-Le-Bow in 1671-1673.
