|
Note: A thick-soled boot reaching to the middle of the leg, worn by huntsmen and men of upperclasses in ancient Greece and Rome, also by tragic actors in Athenian drama. They often took the form of calf-high laced boots, sometimes with a cork wedge to increase the wearer's height. |

Dutch ..... Veterlaarzen tot op de kuiten, soms met een sleehak van kurk om de drager langer te maken; werden gedragen door jagers en mannen uit de hogere standen in het oude Griekenland en Rome en tevens door tragedie-acteurs aan het Atheense toneel. |
German ..... Ein dicksohliger Stiefel, der bis zur Mitte des Beines reichte, von Jägern und Männern der Oberschicht im antiken Griechenland und Rom getragen, auch von Tragödien-Darstellern im Athenischen Drama. Er nahm oft die Form eines wadenlangen, hochgeschnürten Stiefels an, manchmal mit einem Keilabsatz aus Kork, um die Größe des Trägers zu erhöhen. |
