balteus of cavalry (1st/2nd century AD)
#6
Quote:I can understand them using cingulum instead of balteus since it is (was) often used before. But they actually say balteus when they mean BALDRIC for the belt that holds your gladius.
The use of 'cingulum' for waist belt sometimes went hand in hand with 'balteus' being used for a baldric, IIRC.
