Description: | Sole of a Roman leather boot. Leather is organic and like the remains of food, cloth or wooden objects it rots away in the ground. It can only be recovered from archaeological sites under very special conditions, either very wet or very dry. This sole was found in a Roman ditch full of water where the lack of oxygen meant it did not decay (late second century, Arbeia Roman Fort).
