Roman Shoes from Northumberland Fort to Be Displayed
Originally Published 11 days ago — by BBC
Large Roman shoes discovered at Magna Roman Fort in Northumberland, with some over 30cm long, are set to be displayed at the Roman Army Museum. The size suggests they belonged to taller individuals, possibly from specialized military units, but the exact reason for their size and the individuals' roles remain a mystery pending further excavations. The shoes' preservation is due to the site's low oxygen soil conditions.
