You need to read the background on Doctor Walline who invented the Key West Sandal Factory back in 1932....It is quite amazing.

As far as I recall there is another preserved Roman footprint in the basement display in the Jerusalem ICC convention center. It is of the Legion X tile factory from the 2nd C. and has a footprint left in one of the tiles.

A little off-topic, but you started it, Todd; in the most recent BAR there is an article that comes to the radical conclusion that Galilee was mostly...Jewish during Jesus' time! In all seriousness, the author does mention that the decapolis was very Gentile, and Galilee itself became much more so in the centuries just after Jesus' lifetime.

I have heard it suggested that Jesus' encounter with a Centurion in Capernaum must have been with one of Herod's (Antipas) soldiers, not a Roman soldier, since Roman soldiers would not have been in the area.

They don't suggest a date for the footprint, but if it is early, it could stir the pot a bit.
