+--- Thread: Roman Republican belt from Spanish Museum-Numantia (/showthread.php?tid=30836)
Roman Republican belt from Spanish Museum-Numantia - Rado - 05-01-2018
From a long time I tried to find some photographs and publications of the findings from Numantia- Museum (the period is around 133 B.C.210).
Published archaeological information for these finds is very limited.This is the result of my research.
Thanks to my friend reenactor I received some sizes and good guidance.

I managed to realize this belt with courtesy of Juan Jean-Luc Féraud.Through his advice, I learned that the metal sheet under the plate applications must be made of thin corrugated red copper.This is a red and brown leather version of The Roman Republican belt from Spanish Museum-Numantia . I have used no more than 8 decorative plates.

Both belts are sewn with double leather.
Finished belts are functional and reliable. No matter what color the leather is the end result is very good.
The rivets used for mounting on the original parts are different in sizes as can be seen from the publications. That's why I made one of this belt model with rivets with bigger heads and the other one with standard rivets.
