One belt or two?

[sulla felix]

I guess that depends on whether you feel that segs were worn more than hamatae during the period in question? Try wearing two belts with a seg - nigh on impossible, at least based upon my own experimentation. A large proportion of the stelae evidence shows soldiers essentially un-armoured (i.e. not wearing segs, although some may be wearing hamatae the painted detail of which has been eroded?). What if once you took your seg off you wore your sword on a belt and not on a baldric - hence the two belts? Just a theory.
