Caligae (Roman sandal) print on a brick. [3088×2133]
In an brick workshop, someone probably accidentally stepped on an unbaked, still soft brick. However it was still baked afterwards since the brick was to be used in a mortar mesh.
Did you know that Caligula is actually a nickname given to the emperor as a boy when he accompanied his father on military campaigns? The soldiers affectionately called him “Caligula,” which is derived from “caliga,” the Latin word for the small military boots he wore.Â
