How long would your commute take in 1680? Mine would be about a day and a half.

Tiny 2,000 year-old Roman leather baby boot. A mini version of adult footwear.
The intricate and delicately tooled uppers would have made this an expensive item.
Excavated from the Commanding Officer’s residence at Vindolanda fort near Hadrian’s Wall. 📷 by me
