What were the carbatines?
Carbatines were a type of simple footwear worn in ancient Rome. Basically, they were sandals made from a single piece of leather, wrapped and tied to the foot with straps.

They had no rigid soles or complex seams, making them easy to manufacture and repair.

Who used them?
They were common among the lower classes: peasants, soldiers, and country folk. Their practical and economical design made them ideal for everyday use, especially in rural areas or during long marches.

Today, they are a symbol of Roman ingenuity and the simple lifestyle of the time.
