How did the Roman’s actually wear their pugios? 2 belts?

[AntonivsMarivsCongianocvs]

But there are pitfalls to the possibility:

In my opinion, the pugio rings did not have to fit over the frogs.

It makes more since that the frog’s disks are larger than the rings in order to keep the pugio scabbard attached. The pugio ring would be opened, slipped over the frog behind the large disk (which would keep it from falling off) and the ring would then be tightened behind.

In all honesty, that is what appears to be in the sketches and sculptures in the links above.

Also, admittedly, I’m sure in the history of the Roman Empire, someone tied his pugio to his sword belt with a leather lace but… I really don’t think that was the norm and I really think two belts should be worn…. The [i]“hanging a pugio from a strap and wearing one beltâ€
