Ancient Roman Sandals Unearthed in Spain’s Hidden Mine Reveal Shocking Secrets of Millennia-Old Craftsmanship
The analysis revealed that the sandals were constructed according to a specific, consistent plan wherein the strongest and thickest ropes were used for the parts that would withstand the most pressure, while the thinner cords were used for tying those parts together. This suggests to researchers that skilled craftsmanship and a deep knowledge of esparto grass were needed to make these sandals.
This level of craftsmanship stayed consistent across several centuries in these mines, as the same types of soles stayed in use for hundreds of years, from the Iron Age to the Roman era.
While archaeological work in these ancient mines will now continue, researchers have already made important headway in understanding the everyday life of a miner in ancient Hispania.
