Зацепила книга! Хопс мастерски показывает момент зарождения человеческого сознания. Читаешь и понимаешь - а ведь когда-то мы все были такими же. Философские размышления о том, что значит быть человеком, заставляют по-новому взглянуть на эволюцию. Рекомендую всем, кто любит думать.

The plot of the book subtly suggests: if something seems suspicious, you should not ignore this feeling. In the center of the narrative - the difficult relationship of the main character Varya with others. The author touches on the important topic of trust in people we have known for many years. Sometimes they can surprise us. I liked the book, I recommend it.

It was interesting to read about how AI helps the user navigate the site more easily. For example, if you enter the query "smartphone" in an online store, the next time you enter it, the system will automatically suggest phone-related products in the search: headphones, smart watches, etc. Such a thing noticeably saves time.

The sandal was discovered near the town of Oberstimm in Bavaria, Germany. The site was once a military fort full of Roman soldiers, with civilian camps all around.
Ancient Roman Sandals Discovered in Germany

The Roman Empire is famous for its vastness: it stretched from the marshes of England to the fertile crescents of the Tigris and Euphrates in the Middle East. Roman armies conquered these expanses over the years and under different emperors, legions of soldiers set foot in the far reaches of the empire. These conquering armies set up camps to rule the outposts of the empire, bringing Roman military culture and artifacts to the locals.

Evidence of such cultural diffusion through conquest was recently discovered in Bavaria, Germany. An ancient Roman sandal, largely damaged but reconstructed with the aid of X-rays, testifies to the spread of military fashion among the local population.

The sandal was discovered near the town of Oberstimm in Bavaria, Germany. The site was once home to a military fort full of Roman soldiers, with civilian camps all around. The sandal was found in the last of them during excavations.

Ancient inhabitants walked the site between 60 and 130 AD. This is when the sandal entered the archaeological record. When it was discovered today, it consisted of two parts. Only the sole with nails and remnants of other material survived. To learn more about the sandal, archaeologists took an X-ray.

X-rays showed that the shoes were of a type known as caligi (caligwas) - half boots that covered the shins up to halfway, they were used by the military.

They had a stiff sole with spikes that provided traction. Many leather straps, as shown in the artist's drawing, were tied to encircle and protect the foot. This design would have been more comfortable for marching.

By the end of the first century AD, the Roman army began using boots. However, apparently during the occupation of a fort in Bavaria, Roman military footwear spread to the local civilian population.

"The so-called caligi were mainly worn by Roman soldiers during the heyday of the Roman Empire," Amira Adailech, a spokeswoman for the Bavarian State Monuments Conservation Office (BLfD), said in a statement. "The find clearly shows that the habits, traditions, lifestyle and clothing that the Romans brought with them to Bavaria were adopted by the local population."

The remains of ancient Roman army-style sandals in Bavaria, Germany, demonstrate the scale and regional influence of the conquering armies.
