Which Deepeeka Balteus sword belt is best for my impression?
#3
I don't think a tribune would wear a plated military belt at all! You need a cloth tie belt for your tunic, and one of those narrow sash belts tied over your cuirass. The sword either hangs on a shoulder baldric (that's just another Hellenistic feature) or is carried in the hand.

Frankly, I don't really like any of the complete Deepeeka belts, though several of them have some usable parts.
