How To.. wear the Pugio and Gladius (belts, fasteners)
Why is it so inexplicable that there could have been belts without lots of elaborate plates, when these fasteners were a truly cheap and practical alternative to hinged frogs? Vanity and a bit too much pride in the bling perhaps?

How do we know that all military belts must have been fully plated? Christian's statement and example that the fasteners often come in pairs completely blows the single Miks example being used as proof that they could only hold one item, or only be used to fasten clothing, out of the water, surely?
