enriched with pearls and diamonds,
and the Weather Romans sported the
like decorations. There were Roman
women who ornamented their low
shoes with pearls and embroideries'
gold and amber. There were many
whose boot soles were of massive
gold.
Pliny, speaking Of his own time
says: "Our ladies are not content TO
adorn their walking shoes alone with
precious stones and jewels, but even
the slippers which they wear I'm their
private apartments are decorated
precious stones do not suffice; they
must. to be i'm fashion, tread on
pearls, and crown their feet with or
naments like kings" Julius Caesar
wore high boots worked In gold and
ornamented with pearls.
Heliogabalus, who never wore pair
of boots more than once. as he never
wore the same ring twice, had prec-
ious stones set in them, and even
canoes, which excited the laughter OF
the populace, because no one couio
