A #Roman leather #brief/#bikini bottom with a cut-out design, tied on each side of the hips with leather laces. Made of goat leather, from Trier, dating 2nd c. AD. So far, seven differently cut leather briefs are known. It's unclear whether they were used as underwear or whether they were worn by acrobats. A terracotta figurine from #Egypt shows briefs very similar to the one from Trier, the cut-out design is clearly visible.

A very stylish #Roman woman's shoe with a decorative pattern punched into the leather.
Found in 1907 in a well in the civilian settlement of the Saalburg fort. The damp environment preserved the shoe in a good condition. Dating 2nd c. AD.
