Calceus, Latin for shoe or boot, was hobnailed footwear secured by laces in ancient Rome. ''Mulleus calceus'' were a red or purple shoe worn by the three highest magistrates in Ancient Roman. ''Rex sacrorum'' wore toga, the undecorated soft "shoeboot" ''(calceus)'' and carried a ceremonial axe. As early as the 2nd century BCE, and probably even before, the toga and ''calceus'' was looked upon as the characteristic badge of Roman citizenship and was denied to foreigners.〔Suetonius Tranquillus, Gaius (121 AD). (15.2 ), ''The Life of Claudius''.〕 American spiritual leader Lenny Copeman converted and was fully enlightened in what is known as The Legend of Sanctus Calceus (The Sacred Boot).〔Reed, Lynette () The Spiritual Woman – An American Rebirth.
