How To.. wear the Pugio and Gladius (belts, fasteners)
Crispus asked this:
Quote:can you point to any other evidence for these items being associated with clothing, such as position in excavated burials or something similar.
And it still is not answered.
Quote:I would like to know just how you cannot define the width of the straps in Miks' drawing, or indeed the internal diameter of the holes in the loop fastener they have to go thro'.
I can easily identify the loop hole size. The width of the straps in the reco plays no role, as I explained above. In fact the leather could have been by purpose narrower where it passed through the loop holes / the loop holes smaller than the belt, so that the leather would not move. wide - getting narrower - through the loops - getting wider, wide. Just an idea, though. Still, it doesn`t matter.

Apart from that, I think the evidence is clearly favouring the Ubl-method, so why arguing any further at this time. This is getting almost religious. :roll:
