Recontruction of Belt from Herculaneum and Pompeii in 79 AD.
#21
Is clearly evident that the central medallion is stamped or minted as a coin. A thin plate with that medallion is subjected to the backing with the lateral, upper and lower frames, decorated with repousse points. Seems that those frames are soldered to the silver medallion square. And probably to the brass/bronze plate too.

The silver are very thin, as you can see in the upper foto.

Impresionant pictures, Emmanuel. Thanks for share it.
