Jori asked:
practical details, for a roman legionary :
a) fascia ventralis or not?
b) can i use a cingulum or not? Or even 2 ?
Gaius Julius Caesar answered:
Yes, 2 belts but I think just the one apron, which is what I think you mean.
I wonder. Look at the Adamklissi legionaries, they are wearing such long suits of armour, only of mail or (apparent) scale construction, and none have a cingulum apron. They seem to be carrying their swords and daggers on a single belt.
