Thanks. I will look at the ermine street as well. I found some good information on Roman reenactment sites. Including a shoe pattern. These are for a one use photo for a book so it just has to look right. Nothing like arguing with the company owner about the costume history. Luckily they'd also contacted an archeologist with ties to Pompeii and we both said the same thing.Susan
