Shoes, Slippers, and Sandals

Feet and Footwear in Classical Antiquity

Herausgeber: Pickup, Sadie; Waite, Sally

Beschreibung

Ancient dress and adornment have received significant consideration in recent scholarship, though strikingly, feet and footwear have featured relatively little in this discussion. This volume aims to rectify this imbalance through its fifteen chapters covering a wide range of aspects associated with feet and footwear in classical antiquity.
