This caliga follows the Mainz pattern, referencing genuine archaeological finds from the Roman Rhineland that have informed some of the best-documented reconstructions of legionary footwear.
The caliga’s open, strapped design allowed genuinely good ventilation on the march while the iron-studded sole gave real grip and durability, standard equipment for the ordinary Roman legionary across the Empire.
This reproduction recreates that Mainz-pattern caliga in leather with a hobnailed sole.

Deepeeka’s reproduction offers a genuine component for building a Mainz-pattern Roman belt, pairing with our AH6798 Mainz Cingulum Belt.
The Dubravica Gladius is a meticulous reconstruction of a rare Mainz-type Roman sword discovered in the Danube region near modern-day Serbia. Dating to the Augustan period, this form is closely associated with the movements of Legio IIII Scythica — one of the key Roman legions operating along the Danube frontier. Its distinctive four-ring pommel and classically waisted Mainz blade make it one of the most archaeologically specific Gladius reconstructions Deepeeka produces.
A Gladius sitting between the Mainz and Fulham types — straighter blade edges than a true Mainz while retaining the pronounced long point rather than the more compact tip of the Pompeii form. The transitional character of this blade reflects the genuine typological diversity of Roman sword production in the 1st century AD.
This closed-toe high boot offers fuller foot and ankle coverage than the open-strapped caliga, suited to colder conditions or a more complete Roman military impression.
Fastened with genuine leather laces and finished with a 1-inch hobnailed sole for grip and durability, this reproduction reflects the range of footwear Roman soldiers used depending on climate and campaign conditions across the Empire.
This reproduction is available in sizes 8 through 11 and runs narrow, made from genuine leather.
