Double belt apron question. - CWyre - 07-24-2007 Hi, I'm looking into putting together an early imperial double belt and was wondering, which of the belts (pugio/gladius) would the apron attach to? Or does it matter? Re: Double belt apron question. - Marcus Mummius - 07-24-2007 I think on almost all the grave steles that are known the apron is attached to the belt with the pugio. Vale, Re: Double belt apron question. - AntonivsMarivsCongianocvs - 07-25-2007 Quote:I think on almost all the grave steles that are known the apron is attached to the belt with the pugio. Yes. Also, the pugio belt with the apron usually is seen being worn first, the sword belt on second, with the sword belt over the pugio/apron belt. Please note, and you can really see this very clearly in each example, the pugio is often attached directly to (or strapped very, very tightly) to the frogs, not dangling on a long piece of leather.

It also includes lot of statistics. http://www.mcbishop.co.uk/jrmes/vol03/bishop.pdf http://www.mcbishop.co.uk/write.htm Definitely the pugio belt that your apron should attach to. Re: Double belt apron question. - Gaius Julius Caesar - 07-25-2007 Not argueing about which belt to attach to Jim! I actually see a few more in his article wit hthe pugio belt over the sword belt! Must have been a morning rush thing maybe? Or just personal taste! But definately the pugio is always on the aproned belt! (whew, got it right finally) Re: Double belt apron question. - Tarbicus - 07-25-2007 Quote:Not argueing about which belt to attach to Jim!

Which Figure numbers are you thinking of? Re: Double belt apron question. - Gaius Julius Caesar - 07-25-2007 82-4 84-9 Plus anthony's link I copid in the previous post! And don't go altering the images!!!!!!!!! I know what you can do wit hcomputers boyo!!!!! :lol: :lol: Re: Double belt apron question. - Tarbicus - 07-25-2007 Quote:82-4Below both belts, so I'd say it's a sculptural "indiscretion". Quote:84-9Nahhhh, that's definitely attached to the back of the pugio belt. Quote:Plus anthony's link I copid in the previous post!Attached to the back of the pugio belt. Typical Rhineland apron belt. That's a pugio on his left hip - You can see the gladius on his right hip in the full gravestone. Quote:And don't go altering the images!!!!!!!!!

Re: Double belt apron question. - AntonivsMarivsCongianocvs - 07-25-2007 Ave, Well I did say "the pugio belt with the apron usually is seen being worn first, the sword belt on second, with the sword belt over the pugio/apron belt." :wink: I'm also quite sure someone, sometime, during the history of the Roman Empire wore two pugios, two swords, or attached everything to one belt.... it's just most examples show two belts with the pugio attached to the apron belt etc. Re: Double belt apron question. - Gaius Julius Caesar - 07-25-2007 Yes, I agree! :lol: However....I think you can see the sword belt is behind the pugio/apron belt there.... That is what I was saying, however it may have been interpreted! |
