The crepida differed from the solea insomuch only as it might be worn on either foot; compare Gell., 13, 21, 5, sq. ☞ The gallicae [sc. soleae], introduced shortly before the time of Cic., were also sandals of that description, made after the fashion of the Gauls): sandalium (σανδάκιον, a high sandal, made of wood, cork, or leather, tied to the foot by means of a leather strap, worn at Rome, especially by the rich ladies, who had them enriched with all manner of ornaments; with the Greeks they were worn also by the men): caliga (the shoe of the common soldier, a sole simply, with iron nails, laced with leather thongs up to the middle of the leg): sculponeae (sc. soleae, wooden shoes worn by slaves and rustics): pero (a large shoe of untanned leather, generally with the hair of the animal on it, that covered the foot up to the ankle, and was fastened with leather thongs like the calceus. It was worn by the most ancient Romans, with exception of the senators; in later times it was worn by slaves and peasants): soccus (σίκχος, a low, thin, light shoe, worn by females and actors of Greek comedy): cothurnus (κόθορνος, the shoe of the huntsman in Crete, introduced by aeschylus on the stage, with soles four inches thick. Females of a short stature used to wear it, for the sake of making themselves look taller): wide shoes, calcei laxi: tight shoes, calcei pedibus minores (after Hor., Ep., 1, 10, 43): easy shoes, calcei habiles et apti ad pedem.
