fashion heresy!!

The Romans may have inspired modern democracy but they also committed the heinous sin of wearing socks with sandals! The humanity!!

Considering the winter temperatures in Britainia (and Germania) it's no wonder! All of the Roman reenactors I know have wool socks that they wear with their calligae. It beats frostbitten toes.

I don't doubt the utility, it's the aesthetics I find questionable! :P

They also used to paint all those elegant marble statues to look "realistic". I shudder to think how some of those color combinations looked on a statue - -

I wonder if they had the discussion sock or no sock with the sandals back then as well *G*.
