Quote:If someone were to use this belt for a later first century impression, then the pugio would be suspended from it not the sword. Would the sword not be worn on a baldric?
Thus this suggests to me that this belt could also be worn in a "cowboy" fashion with the other belt just like the wolf/twin and emperor/cornucopia belts could have been.
I seem to remember discussing (I will not mention with whom) at one point the possibility of wearing two of these same belts for a mid 1st century impression. However, I was told that since the belt was found in Popmeii from 79 AD, that it would be inappropiate for mid first century. Thus only one belt with a pugio and a baldric for the sword would be more "correct". I was also told that a belt with these size plates could not be worn in the "cowboy" fashion.
I would have thought it'sdating would mean it was more than appropriate for mid first century!! :? P
