Questions about the forging of a pugio and a balteus
#48
The Lyon burial was about 200 AD? (ish?)

But definitely not the same era as the kit Marcus wears, that is more first- second ......

The baldric in the earlier period was a strap attached to the gladius scabbard, not a cobination affair like the Lyons baldric/belt combo.

There will be plenty of shots around here of the types used by most re-enactors.

Also for earlier as in BC era, you could just attach the gladius to the belt with no baldric.
